I always think "who cares?" when people go into the no true scotsman mentality regarding Islam. It doesn't matter if these people are "true Muslims" or not, they think they are and they call themselves Muslim. That's enough to say that these horrific things are linked to Islamic culture, even if it is fringe.

OK I'm just repeating myself. But it's so dumb.

I've said it before.

If religions were "nice", religious extremists would be "extremely nice".

Oh man! I guess that means I'm not a True Liberal™ either!

Applies to politics and social issues too. I call myself a liberal but on economics and while also on social issues I do draw the lines at taboos on issues of religion and blasphemy. I do not think the way to problem solve is to walk on eggshells to protect the insecurities of the religious.

Ultimately we are individuals and should look at each other as such first, including atheists. I do not agree with everything other atheist say, and some views other atheists have on certain topics to me are immoral. Both Ayn Rand and Che economic views are to me immoral and too black and white. I have also run into atheists with other new age woo or si fi woo I find absurd. Those differences do not change our common position of "off" on god claims.

Maybe ISIS is the moderates, and the rest of them are all liberal backsliders. We ain't seen the Islamic Fundamentalists yet.

Agreed ! ISIS is not Islam. Period. There is no True ISlam or False Islam. ISIS people are not Muslims. We, Muslims are also at war with them. We will kick their asses and kill them all.

I suggest you get started, then. You haven't done squat so far.

You're right about one thing.

Perhaps they're simply acting out the true result of any religion?
