The disturbing but expected thing is that your words sound like any other fanatic I've ever heard utter them before you and most of them much more eloquently. |
I think they should judge Islam by its source, the Qur'an. By doing so they should not distort it and should consider what it says in context to the entire book as well as history when it was written. My point is that modern Islamic nations by large are following their own Hadith literature and not what the actual Qur'an says. This is not fanatic and its certianly not representative of Islam as it originated.
I don't see how anything I have said could in any way be perceived as a 'fanatic'. Just because I disagree with your viewpiont doesn't mean I'm automatically wrong.
I wonder if you actually read my post you quoted or simply dismissed it all together.
