No mozlem is a true believer in izlam unless they follow every word of the koran.<br /><br />There are people who do not follow all the tenets of izlam: they are not considered proper mozlems.<br />As RecepTayyip Erdogan, Prime minister of Turkey recently said: "There is no moderate izlam, only izlam".Juniper in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05708630426785072160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-19813467373076670462011-02-07T05:10:19.013+11:002011-02-07T05:10:19.013+11:00This video is ignorant double-talk.

All religion works that way. <br /><br />Relationship is based on trust or faith. In Judeo-Christianity, YHWH seeks out sinful Adam and prepares a plan of redemption. It is faith that guarantees favour. Abraham was the friend of God, Moses saw YHWH face-to-face, David was a man after God's own heart and so on. In Habbakuk, and in three places in the NT, we are told that the just/righteous shall live by faith.<br /><br />The Law is a guide to righteousness and not the means of procuring it. This is why sacrifice is necessary.<br /><br />When Law becomes the means of procuring favour then people become self-righteous. Sadly, both Judaism and Christianity are regularly afflicted by this. It is built-in to Islam.<br /><br />Finally, the acid test. Look at the Founders.<br /><br />The Islamist is simply a more thorough and committed Muslim who models his or her life on Mohammed.<br /><br />The video also makes a very dangerous distinction by suggesting that religion and politics should not mix. Islamic extremism is being used subtly to advance a secular humanist agenda that would keep committed Jews and Christians out of politics.Ian Gnoreply@blogger.com
