You mean your confusion.
Hmmm... I have a feeling I know who this "Maxi Priest" is.
It's possible. I was your biggest supporter at one stage, and you have replied to me a few times via email when I was leaving Islam. Is this your way of not replying to my question, as in - how do you square it? (see previous)
Hello Max.. let us be a TRUE priest in our actions and in our words ., and don't worry what Hassan says to you . You know I and Hassan go way back ..~2006/2007.. He also used to get upset with me.. He still does., He must have blocked/unblocked me some 100 times . I don't care. So don't worry. STICK TO YOUR GUNS.,
People like you and me are quite flexible.. If we are wrong , we accept that we are wrong and we change
but others have to prove that we are wrong. until then we fire our guns.. lol..
So your post here is interesting
One thing I always liked, for example, was your correctly placed sarcasm at how it is highly suspicious that God seems to think the world is only the middle east (and other things of that nature) - that isn't just destroying the idea that it is the perfect word of god, that is a valid remark on the dubious nature of religion's origin. Now you are saying that Mohammed was just flawed in his divine interpretation, hence the Quran is too, but then what about your previous view regarding the highly dubious origins of all the Abrahamic faiths. How do you square that? They were all just a bit flawed, all divine, but all made the same mistake when it came to notions of world size? The humour you once found at the obvious pulling of wool over eyes, you now respect? If Mohammed was just flawed in his interpretation, he was flawed in a most vulgar way with regards killing jews, christians, infidels and so on - what is their to respect and admire in someone who thinks like that?
The reason for ppl's confusion is obvious, but you are saying you can't understand why.
It is clear from Hassan's writings that his goal in fact is confusing Muslims, specially Muslims who preach Islam. He wants to confuse such Muslims w.r.t rules and regulations of Islam so they themselves will find out what is right and what is wrong in Islam. And he would like to do it with-in Islam being a Muslim guy. And for that, He starts a new sect
"Islam Antagonistic or Agnostic Islam". I say there is nothing with that.
What is the goal a website like this? Educating Muslims and non-Muslim folks to open their minds to the faults that are there in their respective religious beliefs. And Hassan is doing a very good job. Muslim folks will listen to an educated Muslim guy(whatever sect he may be) about Islam than from Ex-Muslim or Non-Muslim. He happened to be an agnostic Muslim. Don't you agree with me??
If you really wanted to help Muslims, and to help ex-muslims recover, you seem to be going the right way about doing neither, I am very sorry to say[/i].
As far as that is concerned., He is doing his work., There are people who read his words and start thinking. Every one has limitations so he set his own limits and he works with in those limits. As long as you, me and others have freedom to question him and his belief it doesn't matter what he says.
with best wishes
