Anything is possible. And for the sake of humanity, I really hope it’s probable. And, maybe Im a hopeless optimist, but I actually dont think it’s in the dark ages right now. I think the light has hit it, and what we’re seeing is a reaction-it‘s in its last flailing death throeshttps://twitter.com/sanimirh/status/1193278851985629192 …

"Reformists" aren't the solution, especially when they use mental gymnastics to justify the Qur'an and seem to think that kinder, gentler lies are the solution to the many problems we're seeing - that people's gullibility is the answer.

I used to think that too...but I now think that it can be one of the solutions. Ppl leaving Islam entirely is great. Ppl choosing to ignore all the violent/hateful/barbaric etc aspects of Islam yet still identify as Muslim is good too.

They still tend to defend it blindly and insist that it's all "misinterpretation", without offering evidence for why their take is the correct one. Not to mention they also tend to look down on ex-Muslims who tear into Islam.

Yes. I see it as no different from average Christians or Jews. They go to Church once a yr or go to their grandmother’s for Yom Kippur, but other than that, religion is not relevant to their lives. It’s fundamentalists, of any stripe, that I see as the problem.

For me, it's on a scale from fundamentalists to Islam apologists who lie about what the religion actually says and attack apostates and anyone else critical of the ideology.
