It is hypocritical to use it to define Islam when it suits you, then complain when people like Yadda do the same.
I have only ever referenced mainstream muslim leaders and organisations to make my points about
islam's rejection of terrorism and intolerance....
In this forum, gandalf asserts that persons like himself, promote the views of 'mainstream' ISLAM and the views of 'mainstream' moslems - which is a
'rejection of terrorism and intolerance'
.
And that
REAL ISLAM has no association with extremism or acts of terrorism.
gandalf wants OzPol forum members to understand, that 'mainstream' moslems [i.e. the majority of moslems] are in reality, all 'moderate' [i.e. SECULAR] moslems.
FROM THE SUNNA OF MOHAMMED - ISLAM'S PROPHET AND ARGUABLY, THE AUTHOR OF ALL OF ISLAM'S THEOLOGYAllah's Apostle said,
"I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)...."

FROM THE SUNNA OF MOHAMMED - ISLAM'S PROPHET AND ARGUABLY, THE AUTHOR OF ALL OF ISLAM'S THEOLOGY Quote:Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform all that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."

QUESTION;Relative to ISLAM, who is Mohammed ?
What has Mohammed to do with mainstream ISLAM ?
QUESTION;Relative to ISLAM, who is Allah ?
What has Allah to do with mainstream ISLAM ?
QUESTION;Relative to ISLAM, what are holy ISLAMIC texts ?
What have holy ISLAMIC texts to do with mainstream ISLAM ?
ANSWER;Moslems like gandalf, come to this forum, and they assert that only 'mainstream' moslems, like themselves, know what
real ISLAM is [....because moslems, like themselves, are the majority, among the moslems].
To imagine that Mohammed, Allah, and holy ISLAMIC texts, can have any influence upon how mainstream moslems follow their faith is an aberrant thought - it is a thought coming from persons who know nothing, about the love of 'secularity', among 'mainstream' moslems.

Are you a fan of secularity?
By and large yes.....
gandalf asserts;That as moslem, he can be a moslem AND, that he can also be a fan of secularism [or 'secularity'].
I assert that gandalf is deluding [
deceiving] himself.
Dictionary;
secular = =
1 not religious, sacred, or spiritual.
2 not subject to or bound by religious rule.+++
SOME REALITY;
"Muslims are one ummah (community) to the exclusion of all men. Believers are friends of one another to the exclusion of all outsiders."Ishaq:231
Dictionary;
ummah = = the whole community of Muslims bound together by ties of religion.Dictionary;
Islam = = the religion of the Muslims, a monotheistic faith regarded as revealed through Muhammad as the Prophet of Allah.Dictionary;
Muslim = = a follower of Islam.Dictionary;
Koran = = the Islamic sacred book, believed to be the word of God as dictated to Muhammad and written down in Arabic.In having you to examine those dictionary definitions [immediately above]
i want you to understand that the word 'moslem' does not exist, in isolation.
The word 'moslem' is NOT undefined.
The word 'moslem' has a meaning,
which is defined by ISLAM.
We should understand, that
a person who self declares as a moslem, is "a follower of Islam".
And in that understanding we need to acknowledge, with intellectual maturity, just what the implications of that truth really, really, are.
As far ISLAM and [the non-'secular'] moslems are concerned, being a moslem, is like being pregnant,
YOU EITHER ARE A MOSLEM, OR, YOU ARE NOT, A MOSLEM!
Further, ISLAMIC law makes it clear that those who oppose ANY part of the tenets and laws of ISLAM -
ARE NOT MOSLEMS.
