Why do muslim clerics have different ideas about their religion?

Question

If so will Islam branch into more factions.

Answer 1

Why should it be any less fractious than christianity?  Least the Lutherans and the Catholics aren't killing one another ... yet.

Answer 2

For the same reason there are different Christian and Jewish denominations.  Every major religion has its schisms.

Answer 3

ever one grew up in a different environment and has different views...and as far as I'm concerned and how i was raised the muslim doctrine does not contradict itself because in islam jesus is not the son of god but his messenger.the holy prophet.

Answer 4

because people are the problem and muslim doctrine contradicts itself- jesus was sinless yet lied about being the son of god, that is the words of a man that added a book to the bible... frankly you should read the new international standard translation bible and realize that version does not conflict with its own words... contact me if you wish to speak further

Answer 5

They grew up in different environments, and went to different madressas and Islamic schools of thoughts.

By the way you should go to Holidays > Ramadan and post the question there, for a bigger reply (most of the Muslims hang around there)

Answer 6

Probably. Look at all the divisions within Christianity.
