Islamic Voodoos

A twelve-part series which I learned about over at Eleanor Duckwall's Spotlight. Excerpt from Part Four on biology:
§ Allah says the eyes are not blind but the souls that are in breasts are. He who is blind in the world will also be in the hereafter…(Ghazali, p.1.97)

§ Men’s seeding germ is at back, and the females’ at breasts… (Ghazali, p.2.23)

[...]

§ Love is disclosed in urine… (Ghazali, p.4.287)
So, urine may be a way to express love on Valentine's Day. No, wait. Muslims don't celebrate Valentine's Day.

Later in the aforementioned series on Islamic superstitions, we have the following:
Allah sends eclipse to frighten the believers...(Sahih Bukhari, 2.18.167)
A total lunar eclipse will occur next week, on February 20. Something else for Muslims to worry about, huh? Pity they aren't at the Hajj on February 20. They could have the words of the Hadith to justify the traditional stampede.

Allah sends the eclipse to frighten his believers?!?

Does that mean Allah is admitting his believers are stupid?

In a word, yes.
