A problem with religions which I see is that their screw people's sense of truth and reality by requiring them to proclaim beliefs in dubious magic and jump through bullshit hoops, all under threats ranging from constant nagging to death. People just get used to doing bullshit if somebody tells them "because God".

No matter what Islamic scholars say (and, honestly, what are they supposed to say if they want to be treated seriously?), what they are doing is creating an army of robots who just wait to be programmed - by whomever, for whatever.
