Islam Can’t be Reformed, the Hardliners Will Shut Down All Who Try
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 07/05/2017 6:29:10 AM PDT by davikkm

A Turkish born, German citizen, Seyran Ates, has done something that needed to be done. She has tried to drag Islam into the 21st century by opening a Mosque that is open, inclusive and genuinely Liberal in its outlook. There is only one problem standing in her way…Since opening its doors, she has been the subject of a mass death threat and hate mail campaign and is now under 24-hour Police Protection.

The Ruschd-Goethe Mosque (named after the Islam scholar and philosopher Ibn Ruschd, and the German poet Goethe), opened doors in mid-June and set out to preach Religious freedom and equality. Some of the more interesting practices she is promoting at the Mosque are that of “non-segregated” prayer (men and women pray together), welcoming of Gay Muslims, and the banning of the niqab and hijab. Perhaps the bravest aspect to her Mosque is that the “Koran is to be interpreted “historically and critically.”

Less than a month after opening and already the Mosque is, unfortunately, in trouble. Ates is receiving more than 3000 pieces of hate mail each and every day from enraged Muslims in Berlin, around Germany, and even further afield. She has also received over 100 credible death threats. Germany’s National Criminal Police Office (LKA) has her under 24-hour protection.

Right. It can’t be reformed. There will always be some who kill those who don’t implement sharia 100%.
Solution? Keep 100% of them out of our country. ALL of them! No exceptions. Ban their death book. Ban the “religion.” Send no money to their countries.

Angela Merkel wouldn’t have it any other way.

slam is like fire - it must continue to consume, or it gets extinguished. There is no middle ground.

I never got much follow-up as to what became of the liberal Muslim congregations.

If I were a Muslim I would be upset too. She has created a different religion and is calling it Islam. Either you believe it as it is written or you don’t.

ISIS releases videos all the time.
It is the same as what happens to apostate Muslims in Saudi Arabia.

Burning, stoning, or beheading.

Islime cannot be reformed without getting rid of Mohamhead, and rewriting the quran and hadiths.

And then it wouldn’t be islam any longer.

On a thread many weeks ago, a lot of predicted that this very thing (and worse) was going to happen.

But the media doesn’t mention what happens to the liberal Muslims, trying to make it seem like “There are Progressive Muslims”, or that it’s all okay.

If you “reform” Islam then it would no longer be Islam and would be something entirely different.

Actual reformers automatically become Apostates and incur Death Sentence executable by any Moslem with the opportunity.

Any Muslim is in effect, judge, jury and executioner.

Moslem countries are fairly easy to rule except for the connivance and intrigue at the top. Islam is self enforcing and people keep their neighbors and family members in check.
