Halibut Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 3 questions no answers..... why is that? Ill answer them. yes yes yes So how can you be a moderate Muslim and answer yes to my 3 questions? Simple you cannot. So what you do is Redefine or create your own Islamic contex when applying moderate to muslim. RIGHT OR WRONG? If you already know the answers then the fact that you're asking the question suggests you have an agenda - it doesn't take a genius to work it out. Been here before haven't you?

mj.scuba Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I'm confused as to what a moderate Mulsim is. Supposedly moderate Muslims went to great lengths to tell us that Al-Quaida and their ilk are not real Muslims, have perverted the faith of Islam and done it no favours. But then the killing and dumping of Osama Bin Laden in the sea was almost universally condemned by so called moderates as an insult and un-Islamic. I could very well believe there is such a thing as a 'moderate Muslim', if they didn't speak in forked tongue so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomdido Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Why not pop along to the excellent British Council of Ex-Muslims website and have a shufty? Who is better qualified to talk on the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 So that's a definite yes then, but just bad ones... Do you know, I don't think that's actually what I said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_words Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Do you know, I don't think that's actually what I said... In a roundabout politiciany sort of way which could fall either way unless pushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upinwath Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I know thousands of Muslims. I've hardly met any that support terrorism or violence of any sort. Of course some do but it's a tiny percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Moderate Muslims? That would be about 99% of them then. Maybe but IMHO a bit smaller, they call it the silent majority, but a few can make one hell of a difference, as has been proved historically. I have a dislike of holy book bashers, when did god give a handful of fanatics the nod to lecture the rest of us? Remember 'All that is required for evil to prevail, is for good men to do nothing' (Edmund Burke). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
