The great irony here is that
Steyn is proven wrong by Asad Shah himself

Oh ?
And how do you come to that conclusion gandalf ???
To come to that conclusion,
.....you would have to first prove 1/ that
Asad Shah was a moslem who was actually following a set of 'peaceful' tenets, of ISLAM, .....AND, 2/ prove that ISLAM does
not prohibit religious and political pluralism !

The inference in your post #20 is wholly unsubstantiated.
To prove that
Asad Shah "believed in and practiced pluralistic Islam"
you would need to prove that tenets of ISLAM do
not prohibit religious and political pluralism.
"pluralistic Islam" ???
Where is it gandalf ???THE HADITH....
"...the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him."

ISLAMIC LAW....
"Ibn 'Umar related that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said,
"I have been ordered to kill the people until they testify that there is no god except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer and pay the zakah. If they do that, their blood and wealth are protected from me save by the rights of Islam. Their reckoning will be with Allah." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) "
fiqhussunnah/fus1_06
"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise):
they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain:...."
