Islam rejects deifying - period. 'La illaha il Allah' - There is no god but God.
"In a godless world, there exists only one principle: the strong do what they can, while the weak suffer what they must. Will to power is the only philosophy that matters in a materialist universe. There never existed, and there never will exist, an egalitarian human society of "free" men without sociopolitical control. Institutions and the ruling elite are necessary aspects of human identity and condition that no mere human agency can change. In any human community, there is but one discussion: who holds the power? Everything else is nonsense chatter."
This is how the world has always been, and why I say it is your deep understanding of history that blinds you to the paradigm shift that is ongoing presently. The world will change. Lions will lay with lambs, and there will no more be power over men exercised by mere men.
I grant Jesus every bit of meaning in his death as the crushed students at Tianenmen, or the ten millions that starved in the Holodomor - but no more.
It is men who prove we can be more than animals, by their sacrificial example, and Jesus proved men can be sublime, as did The Bab.
I reject the divinity of men, except as we serve a higher purpose, and then reckon us the hands of God.
