People can label themselves anything they like.
The rest of us are however are not obliged to accept the validity of such self-definitions any more than I am obliged to accept your labeling of me as a "Christian".
I can label myself gay and not be into sucking dick, doesn't make me less gay.
That is because actively "sucking dick" is not an indispensible component of being gay. Saying "I reject sharia" or "eating Pork is perfectly Islamic", however, disqualifies someone from being accepted as a "Muslim" according to the Koran.
But my entire family is, and if you think that not believing in sharia and jihad makes you no longer a Muslim then you should travel sometime may I suggest Egypt , Morocco , Bahrain or Tunisia.
So these are exemplars of modern secular Muslim societies? My statement WAS slightly inaccurate since the following Koran verse establishes that someone can "submit" to Allah ie be a "Muslim" without inward belief:
The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say : You believe not, but rather say "We SUBMIT," for the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if you obey Allah and His messenger, He will not withhold from you aught of your deeds. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (49.14)However, being a "Muslim" still entails the OUTWARD acceptance/adherence of Islamic beliefs and practices and someone who openly denies the ongoing applicability of sharia and jihad has placed themselves firmly in the Kuffar camp according to the Koran.
Your problem C**** is that you think that everything is black and white, shades exist FACE IT!!
No I don't. I don't for instance accept, as many here would have it, that there is a clear BLACK AND WHITE dividing line between "Islamists" and an alleged anti-sharia/anti-jihad "vast majority of moderate Muslims". Nor am not going to alter my opinions in the face of bad language and personal abuse.
