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
Theological, philosophical or semantic arguments abt what constitutes true Islam are academic at best for Non-Muslims.

Please try to remain civil.. Of course non-Muslims can have theological/philosophical/semantic arguments abt the definition of Islam.

This is just a different argument to ethical considerations of whether Muslims can live & promote a form of it which supports liberal values

That's like saying footballers should stop playing football but we'll still call them footballers. Still amazed as to how you can't grasp it

I've grasped that there is a semantic argument to be made. I'm suggesting its less important than the reality of versions of Islam.

If you have no opinion on the ethical argument of liberal forms of Islam but are speaking only about theological definitions, fine.

I had the impression that you were telling Maajid that his liberal version cld not exist in reality rather than in theological definition.

But, if you were actually making a theological argument that only true version of Islam exists & can't be revised by today's Muslims, OK.

They can argue about the implications and utility of certain definitions but can't proscribe any definitions. Words are just arbitrary tools

You lost the debate long ago when you showed you didn't understand what the NTS fallacy was. Now I'm just mocking you for the laughs.
-
Yeah, simply claiming someone lost the debate and ignoring their arguments is very compelling.

This is when I should walk away. I'm going to do that now. Polemic: #1.2,5,7,8,9,10.pic.twitter.com/MQcyQQYcIw

No, you're removing yourself because I've shown you to be wrong about everything and you're not honest enough to admit it.
