In reply to the discussion: Ex-muslim Here to answer any questions you might have [View all]unfortunately as it is today, and this is a shia sunni and almost type of islam. If i claim that mohammed and in essense the koran is not perfect. I wouldn't get down the street before i was torn apart. i know this is going to sound weird. but you have a better chance of surviving a mob cursing god then you do Mohammed or the koran. Saying goddamn it or damn god will get you a beating and lashings for sure., probebly jail time. saying damn mohammed or the koran will get you outright killed.
can islam reformed into something into non-violent. Will to answer that question you have to believe islam is inherently violent. for me all religions are inherently violent. Either because of the texts within the book or its followers. Why im an agnostic today. but i can say as a religion islam is a lot less secular then say what the jews are today. And yes, the more secular a religion becomes the less violent it becomes in my humble opinion.
