      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

      Many version just expose the contradictions. Again, you think not being a Muslim means you're still a Muslim. All kinds of stupid.

      You're advocating no true scottsman fallacy. If anything is stupid in this conversation, it's that. There is no perfectly true Islam.

      If I put a sofa into a woodchipper until it's just millions of fibres, would that still be a sofa? It's not the NTS fallacy when it's true.

      Islam isn't a sofa. It's a vast set of ideas and the word "Muslim" describes anyone who believes some set of them and self describes as one.

      Also I don't care if you call liberal versions of Islam 'Islam' or not. The point is that reformers try to draw Muslims to it & that's good.

      Until it's no longer Islam... What's better is ditching the religion entirely because it's abhorrent bullshit through and through.

      Say so. However, I'm still in favour of liberal interpretations of Islam as well.pic.twitter.com/XdETyqHCl3

      Liberal means open to new ideas. What if those ideas are even worse? You don't understand how many holes there are in literally every reply.

          Simply saying the words 'reform' and 'liberal values' is not enough on their own, but that's the laziness you've shown.
