Just your average post on Reddit by a "liberal Muslim"

"Progressive Islam"
how are you gonna progress a religion that has been handed down perfectly? Wlhi I hate these types of people who really wanna please others. Who cares if they think Islam is wrong for hating gays, that's not our problem. Just 40 years ago they thought gays were bad too. The world flips and flops and what's right and what's wrong, the quran doesnt.

As you said Islam is already a perfect religion and so unlike Christianity doesn't need to be corrected or "progressed" but who said anything about hating gays? Not that I am one or that I am supportive of them.

Okay but who exactly are the "scholars" they are following? Does anyone know?

I want to know who exactly are there "scholars"..... are they following Abu Layth?????

They dont believe in scholars, only their own nafs and whims. They want Islam to be completely liberalised.

See this guy has already been liberalised. Its

The thinking is, Rebelling against bashar creates a bigger fitna (society collapses and refugee crises). I dont agree or disagree.

There's a difference between hating people and hating their acts, even Dr. Yasir Qadhi said this. Not even my own words

Islam simply outlaws sodomy but doesn't mention harassing sinful people otherwise we would be harassing murderers who are even worse and zaanis are also not much better tbh.

Listen y'all, there are levels to liberalism just as there are levels to conservatism not every liberal or conservative shares all the same values

 

[Tawheed]

What? It's true

I also listen to him sometimes

 

[Mehdi Hassan]

I'd even argue that Islam is a fairly liberal religion in that it highly discourages racism, limited men to only four wives and introduced women's rights as well

If you have hate for people then how can you turn them away from their sins?
