Islamophobia is an unreasoning fear of Islam and Muslims. Islam is also a political ideology, you pedantic fool. Islam is a religion, Soren. Quote:Islam (/ˈɪslɑːm/;[note 1] Arabic: الإسلام, al-ʾIslām IPA: [ælʔɪsˈlæːm] ( listen)[note 2]) is a monotheistic, Abrahamic religion articulated by the Qur'an, a religious text considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God (Allāh), and, for the vast majority of adherents, by the teachings and normative example (called the sunnah, composed of accounts called hadith) of Muhammad (c. 570–8 June 632 CE), considered by most of them to be the last prophet of God. An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim (sometimes spelled "Moslem").[1] [ Source] Islamism, OTOH: Quote:Islamism (Urdu: اسلام پرستی; Arabic: إسلاموية), also known as Political Islam, is a set of ideologies holding that "Islam should guide social and political as well as personal life".[1] [ Source] Therefore you have some Muslims who believe in Islam who do not necessarily believe in Islamism, Soren. This has been explained, I am sure, many times before. You however, appear unable or unwilling, because of your Islamophobia to make the differentiation... By that definition every practicing Muslim is an Islamist because they all have Islam as their guide to life and politics. Which definition, I gave two, Soren. Also, you're assuming that all Muslims are 100% observant in their devotions and duties. Why? Most Christians aren't. Why would all Muslims be? You'd never have this: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/537/Q83Eba.jpgOr this: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/907/kfjZva.jpgIf all Muslims were 100% committed to their faith. You have erected this monolithic stereotype in the mind, Soren and that is the only place it exists. Time to get out there are talk to some real Muslims for a change. They are a mixed bunch, some go to Mosque, the majority don't. Quote:Which is my point. Your only point is Islamophobia, Soren. Here, the 487th time, Brain - I have NO quarrel with anyone who doesn't take Islam seriously. You are a complete idiot for imagining that you of all people are standing up for Muslims who themselves do not take Islam seriously enough to bother with its teachings. You are both deluded and superfluous: they have left Islam already so they do not need you, of all people, to be their defenders. You keep surprsing me at every turn - you are thicker and more po-faced and irrelevant than I have imagined.
