If one views the happenings and incidents of the prophet peace and blessing be upon him as having higher cosmological significance than purely the literalistic interpretations stagnant within the time they were revealed then;

There is one particular narration when after a particular battle, one of the men involved in the aftermath reprimanded the prophet peace be upon him for being unjust in dividing the war booty.
The companions were enraged at the suggestion that one would question among the most just human beings ever to walk the planet. The prophet told the companions to leave the reprimander alone, and let him be, and when he had left the vicinity he added, that
some people would come from the Ummah that would recite the Quran, yet the words would not go past their throats.

The reprimander (of that incident) happens to be from amongst the peoples of the same locality as are generally associated with the title of this thread in modern times.

The companions can be seen as a corroraly today of those who are "enraged" at the notion of those who argue the Justice of islam is somehow lacking in the modern day, in the same way the Justice and fairness of the prophet was questioned that day.

The prophets example can be seen as a admonition of takfir or making wholesale judgements on those with such notions, in that he told his companions to let the reprimander be.

The prophet then qualified the reprimander by giving you a clue of the state of those who question the principles of Justice in Islam.

So the prophet's peace be upon him example was to show you cannot make takfir, one should incline towards peace, yet one should recognise the spiritual sickness of those of such notions. In that the Quran will not have penetrated their hearts and they would pay mere lip service to the Statements of the messenger peace be upon him

I personally beleive the prophet of Islam, was giving the believers a lesson on how to regard such iniquities within the ummah.

But im just an ordinary muslim, with miniscule amounts of knowledge, so Allah, The Most Just, knows best of course.
