That's like claiming that someone who says 2+2=5 is free to claim to be a good mathematician.
The point is they are not following their religion completely if they ignore huge percentages of it.
Here's another video as you didn't address the last one:
Quote:If it is a faith that teaches love and morality, why should I have a problem with it?
The point is that it teaches very little love and morality and an awful lot of hate, violence and bigotry and they only avoid that by ignoring it.
They AREN'T following the religion fully unless they truly believe the horrible parts as well. That's my point. The extremist Muslims are the devout ones.
I don't know what to tell you. I am long time friends with a devout family of Muslims (follow all the rules, pray multiple times a day, etc), and they are good and decent people who established their good values from their Muslim faith.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
