Not really many gays are discriminated and sometimes killed so are apostates I don't think their are Muslims like you who are tolerant. Many moderates are fanitical they just hide it, Islam is a violent religion where it's followers all behave like sheep and no one stands up to them. Minorities are prosecuted and banished from majority Muslim countries. Only those who kiss the westerners asses portray a fake aura of tolerance e.g. Dubai but secretly wish to murder these hedonistic people.
I agree. I'm just saying it would've saved us (civilization) so much trouble if more Muslims were Quran only. Think about what ISIS is doing. They can't use the Quran alone to justify their actions. Most of their actions (taking slave girls, executing prisoners etc.) is justified using the hadiths.
You can't bloody question the Quran or the Hadith it's haram that's why Muslims are ignorant and forever playing mental gymnastics to prove certain passages which scream violence to any non Muslim as normal. The problem started when Mohammed said you can't touch or defile the Quran as it's the word of god, as a result of this passages that were violent were just left there as no one could touch them or alter their meanings to fit into modern context.
I'm not Muslim. The prevalence of Quran only Muslims would solve most of those problems. The Quran is vague and contradictory. Sensible people can use it to live a peaceful life, which is what a lot of QO Muslims are doing in the west. QOM will grow and probably become the dominant force within Islam in the west. That would be good for civilization but not Islam.
The "sahih" hadiths are only sahih according to people who heard things from other people, hundreds of years after the death of the prophet.
Great I hope this is true
I don't mind peaceful Muslims where one day their mosques will open up and invite those in the outside world and help not just Muslims in their community but non Muslims as well.
So that makes it authentic ? you wouldn't be doing this in a scientific study ?? That would scream bias....
Great I hope this is true
My awra wtf is that ? No I fucking won't it's my body if I want to wear a long skirt a long sleeved blouse and my hair on display how is that sexy for a mosque ? Are the savage beast called Muslim men gonna get boners by simply seeing my hair tied back ? This awra shit is stupid as hell makes you men act like vile pigs who can't stop thinking about rape and sex ?? Seriously I don't even show skin when going to the mall and I'm expected to cover up everything instead of wear conservative smart clothing ? Yeah right women equality right there it's my fault I'm to sexy cover up B**** what an insecure rule !! Did you realise women back them in Somalia exposed their arms and wore guuntino and dirac, before the advent of the wahhabi jiilbaab and the mandatory hijab ??
It'd be interesting to see how that change would've impacted Islam as we know it today. From what I understand, it's unlikely to happen or ever be be seen as acceptable since it would require rejecting Prophet Muhammad, and he's pretty central to the Sunni sect.
There is definitely resistance against reform/'alteration'; imo, that has both positive and negative aspects. The positive part is that the scriptures will be more authentic and it doesn't allow outside forces to infiltrate/corrupt or water down the religion. The negative part is the scripture can still be perverted (in a subtle manner, i.e. political system) to push a certain agenda...but followers will end up blindly following rather than using their reason to interpret it themselves [due to the belief that it's a "perfect" text].
No, they are Muslim, period. They follow the Quran, which is the word of Allah and see Muhammad as the messenger. The hadiths are so unreliable that a huge percentage are considered "mawdu'" and god knows the authenticity of the rest.
Wow, they're a lot more interconnected than I thought...now it makes a lot more sense why Sunnis refuse to denounce the Hadiths though. If the same people worked on both books, how did the contradictory scriptures get in the Hadiths in the first place btw??
