Wa'ssalam,
With all due respect to you, let me say, I can only disagree with you. It is difficult for me to agree to disagree since the issue is related to ALLAH and His commandments. But I do not have anything against you at personal level. That's why I even appreciated your general argument skills.
Thanks for making me THINK and contemplate more about Allah and His verses.
Assalamu alaikum
