re: #713 Naso Tang

Yes, there are such Muslims, but the truth is they are not Muslims according to the religion; they are Cultural Muslims only.

Even though there are Christians who take every word in the bible as literal from God, most do not make that claim.

Islam on the other hand considers every word of the Koran to be the direct word of God and anyone who claims differently is an apostate. I doubt very much that those you refer to are willing to state that to other Muslims they do not know, let alone to the press.

Moot argument. Back to that old “they’re not really Muslim, they’re not really Christian etc.”

Well, look if we kept saying that, oh lets’ say, in the middle ages. Those reformation guys, they’re not really Christians, let’s ban them (which was what happened at times).

If the “banning” worked, well, what would the world be like today? No, I’ll keep support the Muslims who want to see reform, whether some of they’re religion sees them as apostates or not.

Or what is your final solution?
