From MEMRI, the video clip below shows Kuwaiti researcher Abdulaziz Al-Qattan making an appearance on Al-Mayadeen TV on March 3. MEMRI’s Counter-Radicalization Initiative report on the appearance highlights the following quotes from Al-Qattan, each of which would get a person branded an Islamophobe in the West:
Abdulaziz Al-Qattan: “ISIS did not come out of nowhere. It’s not an aberration. By no means. ISIS adopts the Salafi-Wahhabi ideology of Al-Qaeda. If you look at Durur Al-Saniyah by Muhammad Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab, you will see that ISIS is implementing the ideas of that book to the letter. They are doing it step by step, word by word.
…
“The problem of us Arabs is that we are not being honest with ourselves. We do not acknowledge our mistakes. We refuse to break away from that heritage. Our Islamic heritage is a minefield of these deviant ideas. Unfortunately, even some contemporary muftis, sheiks, and Islamic scholars subscribe to this reactionary ideology and to this backwardness. To this day, some of them consider photography to be prohibited polytheism, and view statuses as idols that are worshipped instead of Allah.
“Even in the days of the Islamic conquests, ‘Amr Ibn Al-’As did not destroy the Sphinx and did not shatter statues in Egypt. I cannot imagine Islam, or any civilization, without art. I cannot imagine the beauty of Islam without art. Art is sublime. Art means progress. Art means civilization. Can you possibly imagine humanity without art? Inconceivable! Inconceivable!
…
“The ISIS [ideology] existed even before ISIS and Al-Qaeda emerged, but we turned a blind eye, and some Arab governments still prefer not to face the plain truth. All the books of Islamic heritage, without exception – from all Islamic sects and denominations – have enough ISIS ideology to turn your hair white. Therefore, what we need to do is sift through Islamic heritage. We must go back to the book of Allah, for it gives guidance to humanity. Islam does not, under any circumstances, run counter to human nature. Allah created Man free and gave him freedom of thought, but the problem is that the Muslims have begun to worship people. We have begun to worship our heritage. We have begun to worship books.
…
“I say “Islamic heritage,” but that is not what it is. It is the heritage of the jurisprudents, not of the Prophet Muhammad. The books of Islamic heritage — Al-Bukhari and Muslim hadith collections, and the other canonical hadith books, as well as the Kitab Al-Kafi and all the other books of the Shiites … All these books need to be sifted through by real institutions. “These stories should be sifted through in order to filter out all their blemishes. Politics played a role in the evolvement of this heritage. The Islamic scholars of the Sultan’s court played a role in this. The hadith narrators were not infallible. Some of them were liars, cheats, and so on.”

I hope he’s somewhere safe...
Speaking “truth” to power.

Having read about the history of the area Muhammed lived in, and reading about the start of the religion, and reading the Koran and Hadiths I have the same interpretation of Islam as the Wahabbis. (subjugate convert and kill all non-believers)
This heretic is born into a religion he cannot cope with, and doesn't want to get our blood on his hands, and he wants Islam changed to suit his modern lifestyle and secular life.
I would put al Sisi in Egypt and King Abdullah in that same category.
They are Infidel collaborators and we are lucky to have them on our Infidel side, as well as the Sunni Kurds.
Islam is a difficult religion t leave since it may result in your getting killed- but so won't trying to change Islam, to make it more peaceful and tolerant. - Tom
Egyptian President Al-Sisi, and now this gentlemen, Abdulaziz Al-Qattan are two of my favorite Muslims now.

A guy named Robert Spencer has been arguing the same thing as these Muslim gentlemen for years. Yet, he is being demonized.

I have always believed this — the less devout and serious and knowledgeable a Muslim is with the Quran and the Hadith, the more tolerant and peaceful he becomes and VICE VERSA.
True enough.
That is why the Muslim heretics , apostates, Infidel collaborators, and secular Muslims can't win any arguments with the Islamic fundamentalists about changing the religion, or re-interpreting it to be more peaceful.
Islam is pretty much cast in stone in the Koran and Hadiths leaving very little wiggle room for interpretations different from what is written down, and making it harder to make Islam sound more peaceful. - Tom
