papabryant said:Let me ask a question if I could. Within Christianity there is the idea that a person who professes to be a Christian but A.) doesn't live by the precepts of the faith; and B.) doesn't show remorse for their actions (thus proving it isn't an unintentional transgression) -- is said to be a "false" Christian. The best historical example is Adolph Hitler.
Does Islam have a simular concept?
I've read the Qur'an twice, and numerous commentaries, and don't see anything like this concept In Islamic theology. (It would explain why there has been little in the way of protest over terrorism.)
I keep it short and sweet.... I deal with my own Islam. All I need to do is pray in my house, avoid ham, and alcohal, and live life, provide for my family and thats it...
The best example would prolly be that Iranian President... I just can't see why they'd elect such idiots... They know they're not going to benefit from it.
We need a revolution.
