I think I detect sarcasm... I like what Reza Aslan has to say:



Whatever religion a person practices their interpretation of that religion is. by definition, the Orthodox version and whatever anyone else practices is Heterodox

What does Fundamental actually mean? Why is one interpretation fundamental an another not? It seems to me like fundamental is just Newspeak for fascistic.

Aslan's points are excellent and show up the media for fanning the flames of fear, ignorance, and anger to generate clicks.

I'm pretty sure that 99.99% of Muslims don't feel terrorists represent them.

Fire burns.

Believing otherwise is foolish (in the least), or insane (at the most).

But: as you like.
