Samples also pointed out the times have changed, <strong>and</strong> hadiths, <strong>and</strong> even the<br />

Quran, were revealed for 7 th century Arabs. Circumstances were different. As a sample<br />

points out, “A 7 th century man didn't have porn or the Beatles - two fewer sacrifices to<br />

make.”<br />

However, most samples in the Strata felt that the Quran <strong>and</strong> hadith should be<br />

questioned, <strong>and</strong> that‟s the only way we can learn about the truth. They all agreed that this<br />

will increase clarity, underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> faith among the believers.<br />

Strata M responded like 18 identical robots programmed specifically. This is<br />

noted by the very low st<strong>and</strong>ard deviation. In fact, for many answers, all samples replied<br />

the same. Some samples were humble enough to mention that they are not fully<br />

practicing Muslims. They all believed that the hadiths were essential in underst<strong>and</strong>ing the<br />

Quran, <strong>and</strong> without the hadiths, the Quran would be impossible to comprehend. They<br />

explained this by saying that the Quran is a compressed text, <strong>and</strong> not all decrees <strong>and</strong><br />

comm<strong>and</strong>ments are fully explained in the Quran. Hence, the hadiths are necessary to<br />

further extend on the Quran.<br />

Most samples mentioned that they do read the Quran with translation fairly<br />

regularly; some replied negative, one even saying that reciting the Quran with translation<br />

isn‟t necessary! They all agreed the rejecting hadiths is blasphemy, <strong>and</strong> mentioned that<br />

the authority <strong>of</strong> the hadiths came from the Quran.<br />
