Raytri: reading the Islamic texts one comes to the conclusion that Mohammad wants Muslims to implement Islamic law, so I don't see much of a difference between Islam and Islamic law, and neither do millions of Muslims.

But I do appreciate the feedback you've given on these threads.

Yes, it can be interpreted differently, but that's not much comfort to, say, the gays in the 13+ Islamic countries where homosexual activity is punishable by torture and/or death ("gee, I hope they'll torture me, instead of killing me, since interpretations of Koran 7:79-82 can vary".)
