@rezaaslan @gcaw @TheAtlantic its a really weak article as misses corpus of Muslim scholarly work... Pick & choose and u can build any case
ppl intentionally misreading @gcaw @TheAtlantic piece, which rightly says ISIS motivated by Islam, to mean Islam is responsible for ISIS

-
@amadshk@gcaw@TheAtlantic that was indeed a huge weakness of article bc it focused singularly on one scholar's opinions -
@rezaaslan@gcaw not saying it was intentional. Imagine basing all Christianity on lords Salvation Army & 1 Muslim scholar of Christianity -
@amadshk@rezaaslan@gcaw imagine pretending the Crusaders weren't Christians -
.
@NateWatkins@rezaaslan@gcaw that's not the point. Imagine saying crusaders were the only true Christians... -
@amadshk@rezaaslan@gcaw that is the point. The US President denies they are even Muslims. -
@NateWatkins@rezaaslan@gcaw you obviously didn't get the point. As a Muslim, the piece is to tell me how I have been duped on Islam -
@amadshk@rezaaslan@gcaw I got the point quite well. You're looking at this from a personal religious bias. It has nothing to do with you. - 4 more replies

@rezaaslan Now let's assume that"Islam is responsible for ISIS".What are we gonna do? kill Islam? Dear ignorant, ideas are indestructible. -
@AmirModabbernia
@rezaaslan Dangerous ideas can be defeated If we're honest about them. Unfortunately many aren't as honest as@gcaw. -
@Cooky1notout@rezaaslan@gcaw You cannot defeat an idea, you can only create *conditions* hostile to it. Honesty is one of them

@rezaaslan@gcaw@TheAtlantic doesn't "motivated by" imply some degree of responsibility? Are religious edicts & mandates totally neutral?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

..the claim that the Islamic State has distorted the texts of Islam as preposterous, sustainable only through willful ignorance.

@rezaaslan@gcaw If they are its because there are people (POTUS) who refuse to acknowledge that ISIS has any connection to IslamThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@rezaaslan@gcaw@TheAtlantic if being motivated by something you follow incorrectly makes IT responsible, what's your solution to/for IT? -
@mahdiahmad@rezaaslan@gcaw@TheAtlantic ISIS follows Muhammad as closely as anyone -
@NateWatkins@rezaaslan@gcaw@TheAtlantic Muhammad forbade burning alive people. How's burning alive a person following Muhammad?#idiot -
@mahdiahmad@NateWatkins@rezaaslan@gcaw@TheAtlantic didn't Ali burn apostates and Abu Bakr criticised him for it? -
@Secul8r@NateWatkins@rezaaslan@gcaw@TheAtlantic if it was "Islamic", why would he be criticized for it?!? -
@mahdiahmad@NateWatkins@rezaaslan@gcaw@TheAtlantic who's to say the example of the fourth caliph (Sunni)/first imam (Shia) is unislamic? -
@Secul8r@NateWatkins@rezaaslan@gcaw@TheAtlantic Ali (ra) wasn't infallible. God is infallible and Ali (ra) isn't God. - 9 more replies
