There are lots of "lukewarm" Christians. (Rev. 3:16) These are Christians who go whichever way the wind blows. They don't want to make waves.
This is a characteristic of human nature and something we all must guard against (as Christians).
But seeing as how many Christians are lukewarm (vote democrat, embrace homosexuals [viz. Episcopalians]), would it follow that there are many muslims who similarly don't uphold Islam's murderous tenets?
Short answer: NOPE!
The Koran tells us that this is the case!
No.
Just about as common as moderate democrats.......
The word for what you are describing is “Apostate” Muslim.
The problem is, that they may one day decide to read their scriptures and follow them.
HELL. NO.
And I mean that in the direct “Because of this influence” way, not as a simple cuss word.
only if they can’t read nor write. If they can read, the koran says to kill unbelievers.....
Actually. Islam is a Christian Apostasy.
To be fair, the muzzies’ definitions of “moderate” and “peace-loving” are not the same as the rest of the world. LOL!
Sure. Just like a “conservative RINO”.
I think that there are many “moderate” Muslims who do not want to get their hands dirty in actual jihad (they like their middle class/western style life), but they are more than willing to support it financially.
We don’t need moderate muslims. We need reformed muslims. Islam has never gone thru a reformation.
No.
Of course it follows. Most Muslims are just like most other people: they just want to be left alone, and to live their own lives.
But unfortunately, they are overshadowed by the bad element that defines for the rest of us the face of Islam.
On the other side, of course, you get assholes like the ones on this thread who are bound and determined to make enemies of all Muslims -- and who are apparently unaware of the unpleasant similarities they share with the Islamic militants.
An asinine question of course there are, millions of them, I am personal friends with dozens of them. Why do people post rubbish like this? It just makes conservatives look like knuckle dragging idiots.
It has been pointed out that the Old Testament supports stoning but how many Jews practice it? None that I know of. There are many Christians and Jews who backslide or leave the religion. Are they threatened with death? Are there honor killings in any other religion.
Until there is a large, vocal outcry against these practices by other Muslims I will say there are none.
The only moderation in Muslims are those that are outnumbered and don’t speak out...I would say that ALL muslims are “Peace Loving”...in the Sense that they believe Peace means Submitting to Islam....
Yes there are millions. But THEY MUST SPEAK UP AGAINST THE MURDER, MAYHEM, RIOT, VIOLENCE, TERROR, KIDNAPPING, MUTILATION THAT ARE COMMITTED BY TOO MANY MUSLIMS IN THE NAME OF ALLAH.
What keeps some good souls silenced? Fear of the thugs who slaughter and intimidate those who as speak against the violent.
Still .. at risk of their lives they must speak up or run away from the murderous sect.
No.
