    The Koran doesn’t just tell you how to live. It is constantly describing how the good people behave and how the bad people behave. It’s set up like a constant war. And where the Bible rarely actually mentions hell, the Koran is unambiguous that the bad people will be burned and then their skin restored so they can be burned again, eternally. It’s very black and white, all or nothing. This mother isn’t freaking about the clothing. She’s freaking about her daughter being a “bad person.” And mom has to not only not be bad herself, she has to persecute and run from the bad person. It’s fucked up. Read it sometime.

    • Revelations is pretty brutal but your point stands. The ancient Jews either had an afterlife and it was very vague or they had none. It wasn’t until well into the common era that people started working on the dreamlogic. Islam came last so I imagine it got to grab it.
