Ex-mulslimi: islamin maltillisuudelle on raja

[Siili]

Ex-muslimi, nykyinen ateisti pohtii käsitettä "maltillinen islam":

Suosittelen lukemaan koko jutun, koska se kuvaa mielestäni aika hyvin sitä, miten typerä argumentti "enemmistö muslimeista on maltillisia" on pohdittaessa islamisimin aiheuttamia ongelmia.  Jokainen harras muslimi on potentiaalinen islamisti.  Tapamuslimit taas eivät oikeastaan ole muslimeja ollenkaan.

You really can't tell until the moment before they pull the trigger, who is moderate and who is jihadi. Tashfeen has broken our moderate backbone, by revealing that she lived among us, unnoticed, normal, experiencing motherhood, enveloped in our secure community and yet, had radicalized.

And that's the problem, that there are many others like her with exactly the same beliefs, who may not have been ignited yet by a radical cleric, but if the opportunity presented itself, they would follow. They're like a dormant stick of dynamite, waiting for the fuse to be lit. The TNT is already in there.

It is present in every act that is performed that excludes us from the mainstream. It is present in the very concept of Us and Them. Because the only way we remain Us is to reject Them. The only way to be an exemplary Us is to reject westernization at every turn.

And so, to understand the moderate mind, you have to envision it on a continuum from radical to middle, but the closer you get to liberal, there is a wall. It creeps up on you, in the condemnation of homosexuality, in the unequal treatment and subjugation of women, but it's there. Beyond that wall that they are afraid to look over, for fear of eternal hell fire and damnation, is where the answer lies though. So being a Muslim moderate these days is like running a race with a ball and chain attached to your feet.

Tätä on helppo kuvata janalla, joka menisi kolmen uskonnon kohdalla suurin piirtein näin: ateisti - maallistunut luterilainen - änkyräluterilainen - maallistunut katolilainen - änkyräkatolilainen - maallistunut muhamettilainen - änkyrämuhamettilainen. Välimallit voi lisätä.

Ei tämä päde kaikkiin juttuihin, mutta perusperiaatteena homma menee näin.
