They are therefore not a Muslim; they are an apostate, and Islam is pretty strict on that.

I therefore suggest we replace the term 'moderate Muslim' with 'pseudo-Muslim' wherever we see it. There's no halfway house. You're either a Muslim, or a pseudo-Muslim. Not my fault, blame the Quran. But don't try bullshitting me that you can believe part of it, ignore the rest, and claim it's the perfect word of God that you follow every part of.

Thoughts?


Hi all, long time lurker, first post.

No offence meant to jez, but add a few dark mutterings about what should happen to such 'pseudo-Muslims' and the above could have been written by any Islamist fanatic. Not, may I hasten to add, that am I calling jez any kind of fanatic. :smile:

Islam will only become fit for the civilized world when it's followers learn to ignore much of their canon. This, by and large is what Christians have had to do. In past times they too were just as intolerant and barbaric towards those they regarded as not 'true believers,' not to mention sharing all the usual irrational and cruel traits,like misogyny and many more.In fact many Christians still think this way, but fortunately they now have little power to act on them.

As an atheist I can only wish that more and more of them abandon the sinister fairy tale lock stock and barrel, but in the meantime lets hope for more pseudo-Muslims,in fact the more pseudo the better.

Regards.
