The problem is that you seem to think your definition of a "Good Muslim" is the right one. The fact is it means different things to different people - just as there is no single entity called "True Islam." But it is up to Muslims themselves to define what they believe is true Islam and what it means to be a "Good Muslim" - not you. They are the ones who believe it. Just like it's up to Christians to define what their faith means to them. It's not up to me to tell them they are not "Good Christians."
These Muslims who avoid the nasty stuff do so because they earnestly believe they are: "Good Muslims" and are practising "True Islam". They use all the tricks and get outs that religionists have and do throughout the ages. They contextualise it. "Oh it was for it's time" They say it is allegorical. They say it is "misinterpreted" and so on.
They are: "Good Muslims" just as much as a Christian who contextualises the bloodthirsty stuff in the Old Testament is a "Good Christian."
We used to have some Christians on here like Sparky, Diotima and others who were without out doubt "Good Human Beings". The fact that they defended verses where God orders the killing of babies did not make them "Bad Human Beings".
You have a simplistic and ignorant - and whats worse- a very dangerous view of Islam and Muslims.
It dehumanises and demonises ordinary "Good Muslims" who pray regularly and read Quran have a beard or hijab etc…
It is exactly what the rank and file ignorant mob that are the EDL want to hear and it's people like you who are responsible for propagating and perpetuating that myth.
It is a cloak to disguise hate, racism and bigotry under the guise that it is just a battle against Islamic Extremism.
And yes - this myth - that a good Muslim is not a good human being is responsible for this end product:
(Clicky for piccy!)I'll stick to others as my psico

(Clicky for piccy!)Honestly, you can think whatever you want about me. I'm the next sniper or whatever you want to say. Just accept that I don't consider that you understand my point of view not a little bit.

Sorry are you trying to say that I can not have my oppinion about islam? It is up to them?
The moment islam talks about me and my family and friends and everybody in this world with such disrespect and hate, yes I will have my oppinion about islam. And you are lucky that the mayority of people don't really know what it says in the quoran, they beleive what the media feed us. It's all flowers and cottoncandy. So far from reality.
