True Muslims

Well i've been hearing a lot lately that terrorist aren't "true muslims" Which is total bullshit. You can't say that they aren't "true muslims" because they do not go by the "rules". For every one of you has disobeyed the "rules" at one point in time. Also, no one has the authority to drop people from a religion, its like going to a black guy and saying "your not black anymore", it doesn't work that way. ---------- Also i realize that you are just trying to make the Islamic people look better, and to not appear as terrorist, but saying you have the ability to drop anyone from your religion if they dissapoint you isn't helping that cause.

If a Christian felt that the bible compelled him to go kill his family, and he did it, and Christians say that isn't the way of Christ, apparently he is a Christians, so suddenly all Christians are bad people. Or I have a better one, a human decides to kill 6 million people, because it is the way of the human being, but everyone says that's not the way of the human, but that's fine, all humans are evil.

Great logic.

You see thats the thing, they have to point out that not all muslims are like that. But saying your not a "true" this or that is bullshit.

You see no one is responsible for that one person. Its called being an adult, your responsible for your actions. You shouldn't blame a religion for what some jackasses did, but at the same time you can't just say that they aren't a "true" muslim because they broke a rule.

Basically the logic runs around this:

If i went and killed a bunch of people as a Muslim.

Then they'd say i wasn't. Regardless of i was or not. Denying beliefs isn't actually possible. You can say this, but its not true in any form.

I can say your not human, but your still are.

That's incorrect, when someone does it in the "name of %$%#@$%#@$*", they are trying to represent their idealization. And since interpretation is personal FOR ALL RELIGIONS, but are united by different sects of the religion, un-inf-ormed people are lead to draw conclusions that may be inaccurate. So when someone says, that's not a true follower, in relation to their generalized sect rules, they aren't a follower.

If I blew up a Chinese home and said "America is #1", the US government would denounce me as a representative of American ideals. If you are saying that they can't denounce me, then you are saying I follow the American way, and Americans believe in blowing up people's houses.

If someone breaks a rule, they aren't representing their ideology. If the Koran says not to blow up planes, and a muslim blows one up, he isn't following the rules, so that instance of action isn't the way of a muslim.

Just because someone breaks a rule, doesn't mean it's OK for everyone to break rule and still be considered a representation of their ideology.

But if you blew up a chinese home, your still an American. And i always found people's definition of "truth" to differ. Because you say this, and i say that. Maybe they ARE true muslims? I dunno, i guess when i die i'll find out.

its not like saying something is a "true" this has any meaning. I'm a "true" American, well according to some I am, and to some i'm not. Its all a matter of opinion.

A "true" person follows their ideals to the root, and at the instance a "true" person breaks the rules of their ideals, some people may call the person a practitioner of their ideals, but they don't represent the "true" ideals.

Great logic.

Arun, Judeo-Christian religions are Choose-Your-Own-Adventure religions. You can find one verse in your holy book that commands you to kill, and ignore it. Then find a verse that commands you to not kill and you have no problem with that. But when someone else listens to the Kill verse, they suddenly aren't a true follower of that religion. No one bothers with the fact that there is a clear contradiction, otherwise we wouldn't have apologetics. These "Not a True X" claims are fallacious, No True Scotsman. Religions are really fascinating because two people can read the same holy book, one can become a philanthropist and the other a war lord, and they would both be justified by their religious faith. And because of that, religions are dangerous, because they claim absolutes but produce relativists that are convinced they follow the absolute.
