They're not tho. All liberal Muslims adapt doctrines. Reformers are the ones who are open that they're doing that.pic.twitter.com/H0EuCmVoBt

'Liberal muslim' = Someone who doesn't take their religion seriously.
-
Nah. Theological history is essentially an account of ppl adapting their religion & taking it very seriously indeed.
-
Okay, so if all Muslims decided that Allah is no longer god and Mohammad wasn't the prophet, that would still be Islam? Give it a rest.
-
Well, yeah. Seeing as how they decided what Islam was in the first place. Or do you think its divine revelation?
-
It would no longer be a Islam, it would be something else. That's like saying a cow is now a pigeon just because some people now decide it
-
Except that cows & pigeons actually exist & Islam is a man-made story? The latter can evolve out of all recognition much faster by consensus
-
Islam does exist, so a moot point. You're basically saying you can be a Muslim no matter what you believe, making 'Muslim' utter pointless
-
It exists as a story with many versions & changes. You seem to think of it as one pure, unchanging thing rather than something ppl make up

Others re-evaluate what God wanted according to changing notions of goodness. In Christianity, Augustine called this 'reading with charity.'
-
True followers of their religion reject change as it means their god and holy books were wrong. Pretty sure I don't need to keep repeating
-
It won't change the reality if you do. There'll still be 73 versions of Islam & huge amounts of cultural & individual variation.
