How is a ruling made by Khomeini relevant to all of Islam? How is a ruling made by Khomeini relevant to ANY of Islam except the part where he was (de facto) ruler?

First the "Khoemeni" digression and now "disjointed, out of context" verses from the Quran...so predictable.
Tell me what other religion likens other humans to urine and faeces,
What kind of God has such a thwarted imagination?
It accepts stoning to death, killing apostates, chopping hands and feet

What you say is immaterial, facts speak louder than words.
Here is an example of Muhammad's Love for his neighbor and how to turn the other cheek.:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A group of eight men from the tribe of 'Ukil came to the Prophet and then they found the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So, they said, "O Allah's Apostle! Provide us with some milk." Allah's Apostle said, "I recommend that you should join the herd of camels." So they went and drank the urine and the milk of the camels (as a medicine) till they became healthy and fat. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels, and they became unbelievers after they were Muslims.
When the Prophet was informed by a shouter for help, he sent some men in their pursuit, and before the sun rose high, they were brought, and he had their hands and feet cut off. Then he ordered for nails which were heated and passed over their eyes, and whey were left in the Harra (i.e. rocky land in Medina). They asked for water, and nobody provided them with water till they died
(Abu Qilaba, a sub-narrator said, "They committed murder and theft and fought against Allah and His Apostle, and spread evil in the land.") (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 261)
Still no verses emphasizing Universal Love in the Quraan??
.
Islam can't be judged based on supposed Muslims, Islam is judged based on the Quran, the source of Islam

What are your opinions on Wahabism then??
Do you think that it is giving the legitimate Islam a bad name??
