#1 Why do the term "modernized Islam" causes me to see pix of decapitations with chain saw?

#2 Put another way, a modern or moderate Islam would require an entirely different doctrine such that it would cease to be Islam in any sense but name.

#5 The moderate muslim is one who is not really Muslim but fears to leave the religion. When folks talk about Mulsims these are not the people conservatives are talking about.

#6 I met Herr Remarque in Switzerland one day while I was wandering around the back waters of that beautiful country.

He drove this magnificent pre-war Lancia sedan about the size of a B-17.

When he found out I was in the Army, he offered to autograph a copy of his book for me. Luckily and coincidentally I was reading "All's Quiet on the Western Front" at the time and had it in my car. I have a paperback copy of the book in a box in my office autographed by the old gentleman.

I don't think pacifist fits. A pacifist is someone who will not fight no matter what. Anti-war is what he is. You can be anti-war and not be a pacifist.

#7 "Put another way, a modern or moderate Islam would require an entirely different doctrine such that it would cease to be Islam in any sense but name."

Without Shariah Law, essentially what is Islam?

I thought about this. An empty shell. Ergo, it cannot be used to un-duely influence, Coerce, force dictatorial, power or tax people for being themselves.

The moderate muslim is one who is not really Muslim but fears to leave the religion. When folks talk about Mulsims these are not the people conservatives are talking about.

And Herein lies the matter that matters. So, what shall fill the vacuum of Islam? I sure wonder.

The Bible? Naaa, too good for Civilization.
