I have my own views of Islam. I don't think prayer is needed, fasting, or anything. Submission is enough cause you can't bribe god he created the whole world, what can u give him? and even if you do, your just giving him back what he gave u in the first place. That's why I feel islam is just submission and hence why it was called that.
I don't believe in good n evil and think their just subsets of imperfection anyways, it's the same coin different side but the coin itself is creation and anything that is creation is not perfect in the sight of god. As for the here-after I don't know if we just recycle thru existence till we become perfect as buddhism teaches and finally end up in some final scenario outcome but I just left that for god to decide, it's not my place.
See those are my PERSONAL views of Islam, I wouldn't force that on anyone. But I will force the pillars of freedom and safety, that's not my views but shared values and anyone who doesn't accept that sanctity of life and freedom are crucial, will be beheaded. There is no discussion or open talk about that, the rest like my personal views on faith and your personal views now we can discuss that. We don't discuss foundational things, we discuss optional details later.
Just like you dont discuss freedom equality and justice in the traditional system of oman, you can discuss details and politics and how things get done through consensus style politics that satisfies all under a tree preferrably to re-enforce the new mode of government which is CULTURE. Where-as you guys actually put up for discussion those shared matters between humans like being free, being equal for opportunities and rule of law for all people equally, you actually put these things up for discussion and why your getting your ass kicked everywhere in the world.
You dont discuss those things your attacking humanity. You can discuss your views on how things get done in a nation but thats it and thats where it ends.
