Jul 2016

is a loaded term generally when it comes to religion.. im an apostate im no longer innocent.. homosexuals are not innocent.. adulters are no longer innocent. Thats just with within the koran.. then groups like isis consider anyone who goes agianst there version of islam to be going agianst god himself so obvously there not innocent.

The thin line between an innocent and non innocent is very thin and very loose.


ALSO i should make this point.

A lot of radical muslims and groups who blow up places to kill shias.. or christians.. or westerners and end up killing say a innocent sunni muslim. That to them is justified because as far there concerned that sunni muslim is just going to go to heaven anyway so its not like they did much harm. heck with the way most of them think they did that muslim a favour but sending him to paradise.
