Thanks again,this is what suprises me,to me Islam isn't a religion you can practice half heartedly,i cannot see how you can Cherrypick,there are some Muslims on this Forum who seem to have less knowledge of Islam than i do which is something i cannot understand.
So you are saying Muslims who are against the killing of apostates and the stonning of adulterer are less knowledgable about Islam but those who call for them are educated like yourself?
It is not called Cherrypick, it is called the ability to distinguish between God commandments as delivered by prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and man-made commandement delivered by God knows who covered in the name of Islam.
God created brains for us to question, debate and reason. I and many Muslims refuse to take what is brought forth by some scholars claims as "Islamic" and we use Islam's prime source that is the Qur'an to refute those claims.
I said that before and will repeat it again, hadiths are the saying of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) that meant to either explain the verses in the Qur'an (i.e. how to pray) and/or preach on methods to get closer to God. Hadiths were not meant to be like the another Qur'an, where it has its seperate set of laws of what is halal (lawful) and what is haram (forbidden). Any hadith that contradicts the Qur'an and that is by altering, adding or deducting commandments set forward in the Qur'an is a false hadith regardless of its "signature".
So Mr. Englad you are not a Muslim to grasp the importance of this subject. You just copy and paste some "hadiths" to support a claim you make and because you insist and want to insist on your claim, any Muslim who gives you different yet valid explanation of why such claims are not Islamic or at least should not be Islamic, you go ahead and accuse them of being "less knowledgable" of Islam.
