.@rezaaslan Would you say the same about Mein Kampf? That "it's the individual who decides how to interpret..."? >>https://twitter.com/aliamjadrizvi/status/535867670218825728 …
So does the Bible. So what? It's the individual who decides how to interpret a scripture. Unless you're an ideologuehttps://twitter.com/tjerkmuller/status/631862735010177024 …

@rezaaslan Not so fast, Reza. You've been telling credulous audiences for years that Islam forbids slavery. -
@SamHarrisOrg C'mon Sam, you know religious apologists aren't worried about intellectual rigor or "facts" or "truth" or "reason"@rezaaslan -
@H4gb4rdCeline@SamHarrisOrg@rezaaslan You realize that Reza's right though? Otherwise all practitioners of a religion would be the same... -
@iRonNCSU
@H4gb4rdCeline@SamHarrisOrg@rezaaslan Sure, after a religion goes through a Reformation, and is allowed to be scrutinized. -
@KyleSouther1@H4gb4rdCeline@SamHarrisOrg@rezaaslan Islam is probably the most scrutinized religion in the past 14 years. -
@iRonNCSU
@H4gb4rdCeline@SamHarrisOrg@rezaaslan Except that the Qur'an in arabic is considered to be the unalterable word of God. -
@KyleSouther1@H4gb4rdCeline@SamHarrisOrg@rezaaslan ...and? It still gets altered... a lot... this is obvious i hope. -
@iRonNCSU
@H4gb4rdCeline@SamHarrisOrg@rezaaslan you're sure it gets altered? By alter I mean changed, like officially.
