What does the RF Muslim community make of this video?

So you pick and choose, basically. That’s fine. I was like that. But there are problems. Some ahadith, for example those describing Muhammad fingering his wife during that time of the month, may seem distasteful to a lot of people. Back when I believe I believed in it because I thought it served the purpose of showing that a woman on her period is NOT unclean.

I'm not aware of which Hadith you're referring to. Where is that Hadith?

For my approach, if by pick and choose you mean i choose what i like and dismiss what i don't, no i don't do that.

There are many Hadiths, and then there are people's work in determining which Hadiths are authentic and which are not. I'm not obliged by the religion to accept their conclusions. I accept most of the considered to be authentic Hadiths, except for a few, that in my eyes are contradictory to the Quran, which is the main thing. They also happen to advocate things that are not even coherent with the general spirit of Islam.

Thank you for the explanations Badran.
What I do not understand is why there has to be an Islamic arbitration concerning worldly matters at all.
Religion should deal with spiritual matters, not with matters like inheritance and they like.

Then I take it you are also not in favour of the Rabbinical courts which have existed in England for most of the last 100 years?

You do realize that those countries that impose sharia law actually use the sharia law from the qur'an, and that you are just interpretting sharia law in a way that you see is not nearly as horrendous as it truly is.

how can you say that the countries that uses sharia law are using it wrong? Who has the majority vote on what sharia law is then, just like the majority of muslims arent terrorists but the ones that are, are so vicious that they put islam on the spot light for criticism?

I'd say the countries that use sharia law know what they're doing, or they wouldn't impose it. Every muslim there would be up in arms because the qur'an wasn't being followed properly.

like i said.. Islam, at this moment, is the religion that causes the most killing at this point in time. You can use whatever argument you like, "they aren't the right TYPE of muslim, they don't follow the TRUE tenants of the qur'an, they are extremists and just because they kill thousands doesn't mean anything should be said about islam just because they all have the same religion" and you're still going to be wrong.

I don't hate islam, i just don't look at it from behind a veil of faith.

Sharia means different things in different countries. Libya is not the same as Iran which differs again from Malaysia. There is no monolithic block of 'Sharia Law' as you seem to think there is.
