Yes, I think that's it. You must accept uncritically the word of the 'prophet' because he received his message directly from God or Allah.
To question the word of Mohammed is blasphemy. To question the authority of Mohammed, if you are a Muslim, puts your life at extreme risk. It is an ingenious iron clad system putting the rulers beyond question - all they have to do is wrap themselves in the cloak of the authority of the religion - presenting themselves as representing the authority of the 'prophet' today.
It is stifling and absolute, beyond question and outside the bounds of discussion. You are only required to submit to the dictates of these maniacal primitives and carry out their commands against the 'infidel', be a martyr in the name of the religion and you will receive your reward in 'Paradise'.
It appears more to be a recipe for creating hell on Earth.
