If you believe there is a distinction between Wahabbism and “mainstream” Islam.. you truly are a fool.
I deal with many “moderate” muslims, and every one of them once in a position of power ensures there religious “views” are followed by everyone when it applies.. such as with Pork.
There is no such thing as put pork on the buffet and you can’t or don’t want to eat it you skip it, nope the Muslim will every time, demand the pork be completely removed.
There is no live and let live within Islam, now not all Muslim’s follow the tenants completely, but not a damned one I have ever been exposed to does not ensure his religious doctrine rules all when they eventually have the power to exercise it.
“If you believe there is a distinction between Wahabbism and “mainstream” Islam.. you truly are a fool.”
I didn’t say anything about the difference between Wahabbism and “mainstream” Islam, which you certainly seem to be familiar with. I said that when it’s “subjugate or die...”, it’s Islamic extremism.
Have you ever seen footage of those guys in the Phillipines who have themselves nailed to crosses in observance of Good Friday? Nobody gets murdered but it’s still a form of religious extremism.
So by my logic (maybe not by yours), in terms of human behavior, if it’s to die by the hand of another Muslim for a lack of subjugation, then that is also Islamic (religious) extremism, not to mention behavioral extremism and because the left hand knows what the right hand is doing, so to speak, it’s completely outside of the norm and just because a Muslim believes it’s “okay” or in keeping with the teachings of the Koran or the will of Allah doesn’t mean it’s right or even civilized.
