      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

      Which is your right but it doesn't outweigh the evidence that there are many versions & it keeps changing.Neither does saying it's pointless

      Muslims forever calling each other 'not real Muslims' for having a different version. You can do it too, if you like, but not really point

          I'm not trying to define one, true Islam coz I don't think there is one. I just like Ahmadis better than Salafists & reformers better still
