This is a quote from him: "Let me be clear, I am Muslim not because I think Islam is "truer" than other religions (it isn't), but because Islam provides me with the "language" I feel most comfortable with in expressing my faith."

I have two degrees studying Islam. One reason Sharia varies is because not all Muslims use the same Hadith, creating different laws. The Sharia of the Iranian government is much different than the Sharia of my local, progressive Imam.
Again. Your opinions re pacifist or unicorn Islam, as @GadSaad, calls it are IRRELEVANT.
What is relevant is that Islamic laws are oppressing millions of ppl worldwide daily.
That’s what you should care about here-defending the actual ppl, not the religion that tyrannizes them.

If people (like you) choose to believe an oppressive version of Islam rather than a progressive one, that’s on them.

Emma is a leftist so she can afford to look at Islam through progressive eyes and ‘deconstructionism’ but the latter is presupposed by atheism. So no Muslim would ever see Islam likes she tries to becuase no Muslim can be an atheist.

I defend those who live under an extremist, fundamental interpretation of Islam, as well as those normal, non-extremist Muslims who continue to have their religion treated as if it is a disgusting disease.
