re: #110 Jimmah

I agree that those themes are very prominent parts of Islam, but denying the possibility for muslims to reject all that while still calling themselves muslim is going to be very counterproductive in terms of fighting jihadism. One thing that seems to unite about believers of all faiths is that they can learn to ignore the parts of their scriptures that they aren’t comfortable with.

But then they can’t be followers of that religion. If I just “remove” the parts I don;t like and keep the parts I do like, then its not “islam” or “chrisitanity” or any other religion. I am making something else
