Muslims React To Garland Shooting With Strong Condemnation Of Violence

[Yorktown]

40. You posted a few problematic statements here. (#36)

1- Definition of the muslim canon: see my post #38

2- I love that sentence of yours:

The intersection of religion and politics interests me. Religions themselves, not so much.

You state you are interested by the intersection of A (politics) and B (religion)
In Boolean logic, AπB (I took pi for intersect, I don't have the exact symbol)
But you also state you are not so much interested in B, religion.

Math question: how can you know what is in AπB if yu do not know what B is?

3- you write

I support the statement made by the group in the OP. I have seen them made before and I believe this is a valid position and interpretation.

In logical terms, what does it even mean?

You can't support a statement of fact. The fact is Texas muslims dissociated themselves from the killing. It's a fact which stays a fact regardless of the support of such or such individual. You might support the reinterpretation of Islam it represents (as stated here, I would too), but it still strays from the official current muslim jurisprudence.

4- Finally you write that gem:

Most of the world is grey when it comes to their religion.

That is your belief, one that you made up.

Ask the Vatican if their encyclicae are for the birds? Ask the al Azhar clerics if their Ijma is to be regarded as indicative only.

For the men in power in the religious organizations, the world is not shades of grey.

And they are calling the shots of canon (pun intended), not you.
