So basically the SNP… hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

Written for the sort of idiot who displays a 'Queers for Palestine' banner. Islam, by its very core definition, cannot be secular. There is no equivalent of 'Mark 12 -17' in Islam. The Q'uarn encourages ALL followers of Islam to live in Islamic controlled states. And if followers are 'forced' to live in non Islamic majority nations then they are obliged to follow the rules of that state, up until a point but essentially this comes with specific limitations.

Refusing to accept something is real because you refuse to even acknowledge the evidence of its existence means there is no point having this argument. Also the Qur'an specifically states "there is no compulsion in religion" (2:256) so that argument falls flat. It may be what fundamentalists claim but the Qur'an contradicts that.

Again, liberal and modernist Muslims argue against the death penalty for apostasy using the very verse "there is no compulsion in religion" as their argument. Just because it's a relatively new movement doesn't mean it doesn't count or isn't gathering momentum. Only 1% of Kazakhs, a secular Muslim majority country, support the death penalty for apostasy.

Originally posted by inflikted Again, liberal and modernist Muslims argue against the death penalty for apostasy using the very verse "there is no compulsion in religion" as their argument. Edited by inflikted (12 Nov 2023 4.56pm) At the very best, 'liberal' Muslim clerics make the argument that an apostate can be spared but only if they don't make a fuss about it and certainly don't try to persuade others. Essentially stop believing but don't tell anybody. Thats it. The most liberal and modern version. Do you agree with that? Or do you think people should be able to try and persuade others to denounce their faith? "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
