I’m saying the religion of Islam has a lot of problems that need to be addressed-not just theocracy/political Islam or ‘Islamism’ Some Muslims agree that theocracy, caliphates, Islamists etc are problematic...so they say those ppl are ‘not real Muslims’ and distance themselves 1https://twitter.com/WSA786/status/1155217564290748423 …
This creates a false separation. They’re all Muslims. They all follow Islam. Of course it’s a fluid spectrum, Muslims can practice Islam differently, but it’s all Islam. I’m happy to see Muslims condemn terrorism etc, but they need to also condemn other problematic aspects. 2
Condemning ‘Islamism’ or a caliphate is a (very low bar) start. Now, let’s condemn dangerous aspects of Islam that have nothing to do w theocracy/politics/Islamism like child marriages, misogyny, homophobia, antisemitism etc 3
*If* the "distancing" is a prelude to working on the problems, reforming, dealing with all aspects of the religion, a lot of good can be done. *If* the distancing is a prelude to 'we're not Islamists, so nothing to see here," that's a problem.
Right, but the former doesn’t require distancing-the latter does. Regardless, it’s dishonest. There’s no religion called Islamism. No holy book. No prophet. It is not a thing. It’s called Islam, and it has many problems including the call to create a caliphate.
IMHO, criticizing extremism that is found in the Koran starts the process of losing faith in it.
I agree with you
There are so many issues in the doctrines themselves. In the religious ideology. Koran. Hadith. Commands of Mohammed. That's the core of extremism re human rights violations and religious colonialism. Its not what Muslims believe that's the issue it's what the religion teaches
