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.
How exactly do they follow all the rules if they're ignoring all the horrible ones?
They are indeed good and decent people and this is precisely because they do NOT establish their values from their Muslim faith. Moderate Islam, like moderate Christianity, is civilized because it is partially secularized. Like the video that I just posted said (you seem to have ignored that one too): If Christians, for example, truly followed the Bible they'd trust Christian exorcism of demons over modern secular medicine.
You seem to have an overly romanticized view of true Islam but I am not surprised because moderate Christians like yourself have to cherry pick the Bible almost as much as moderate Muslims have to cherry pick the Koran. And thank goodness that you do cherry pick it.
Because their particular brand of Islamism isn't based on a literal interpretation of every sentence in the Koran.
As for the video, I don't watch you tube videos in discussion. It's nothing personal.
"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."
