if muslims are all reading the same holy book, then why are there more than seventy different sects of islam?

Why are there also 45,000 christian denominations with 200 in the US? Remember when the protestants and catholics were killing each other in the UK over nearly identical interpretations? This is by no means unique to muslims

No one was killing each other in the UK over interpretations. It was over power.

Ok sure, but the two groups struggling for power were organized by and at odds over their interpretations of christianity, this is a pretty semantic point

What are the main differences in interpretation between Catholicism and Anglicanism, then?

Well I'd think as Brit you would know this better than I, but there are some differences. Protestants traditionally believe salvation is achieved solely through Jesus, while the Catholics include doing good works. Protestants also tend to believe solely in the authority of the bible, while catholics value religious tradition and say only the catholic scholars are fit to interpret the bible.

The Protestants also think worshipping Saints, such as Mother Mary, is a form of idolatry, while the catholics do not.

Protestant priests are not required to be celibate like Catholic priests

I seem to recall whether or not it was OK to get a divorce was something of an issue as well at one point

These would seem to be a few of their differing interpretations, but I am sure there are more that I am not aware of as I am not even a christian, and certainly no expert on this subject

Anymore they're forbidden to be celibate, because the "be fruitful and multiply" told only to the first people on the planet somehow overrides the praise given to celibacy everywhere else.

no need to answer my question with a question.. i was not asking a question about christianity. muslims are always saying that the quran has never changed and that it is a perfect book... so why is it that there are approx seventy different sects of islam and different sects pray different number of times per day?

also, if mohammad was a perfect man then why was he poisoned and murdered by a jewish slave girl that he had taken slave after killing many innocent jews?

try to answer the question without using christianity as an excuse or argument.

Yeah christians say the same thing

Why, your criticisms apply just as well to your own religion as the muslims, I am pointing out your absurd hypocrisy in criticizing muslims for things christians do too, truly pathetic, you should delete yourself again
