ORIGINAL: BamaD FR Would one of you brilliant people stop telling me why it is all the fault of the U S, and how taking any military action is so evil and tell me how you are going to establish these schools when going to one or teaching in one is a capital offense. They cannot. This is because The International Community of the Ever So Caring and Sensitive (ICOTESCAS, Marca Registrada) Cannot admit that Islam - as a complete political, social, and legal system - is different in kind from every other _major_ religion, such that it is questionable - I believe impossible - to be both a devout Muslim and a good citizen. (You can be a fine citizen and a crappy Muslim, however.) As an exception to the above, there is a strain of Islam that really is capable of both devoutness and citizenship, but it is a small minority strain. This is called "Quranic," as in, as one branch (here) phrased it, "The Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but the Quran." In other words, all the hadiths and sunna are _out_. You would be surprised how much more reasonable it is without them, though there are still things in there that God has already legislated on and which man has no right to change, amend, modify, or limit. No , I wouldn't. When I went to DLI most of my instructors were Sunni (much more laid back at that time) and one or two were Shia (even they were far more civilized than the Wahabi followers) The problem is that Isis and Al Qaeda are Wahabists and only follow the more militant portions of the Koran. It is as if a branch of Christianity were suddenly led by 15th century inquisitionists. The last time an Islamic sect like this showed up the Sunnis and Shites joined forces (sort of) and exterminated them.
