[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele] As you say, Islam is a "belief system". But, contrary to what you believe, it is not an "all or nothing" system, despite that many practicing Muslims may claim otherwise.

You should listen to what those practicing Muslims say. Anyone who claims that Islam is not an "all or nothing" belief system doesn't know the first thing about Islam. Islam literally means submission, YOUR submission to God's will. People that pick and choose, say drinking alcohol or whatever, are just bad Muslims, substituting their own thought in place of Allah's.[/quote]

I would not expect that an atheist, as you claim to be, would suggest that there is an Allah in the first place. I would expect that you would believe that anyone following a religion was putting his own or others' thoughts in place of their non-existant god's. This is the same contradiction that you have previously exhibited.

An atheist would fully expect that a religion that comes from man rather than God would be subject to change and dispute. You seem to have the very un-atheist belief that the Quran is the word of God and is indisputable with a single interpretation. Yet, even a cursory understanding of Islam shows significant differences in understanding (e.g the existence of major sects such as Sunni and Shia Muslims).

I didn't read PP as saying she thinks the Quran is the word of God. I thought she was saying Muslims think it's the word of God. That's the difference.[/quote]
