#4, the Quran is very consistent and clear, when read based upon its word structure. Let those people interpret the Quran based upon logic, science and internal text and you can be sure consensus can be reached.

masadi

You may not know it, but intelligent and dedicated Chowki readers of the Quran have pronounced real Islam to be anything and everything under the sun (one suspects, depending upon their need and audience at a particular moment in time).

Islam, the original, as presented by the Quran really bothers these so-called modern, secular types, so they write garbage articles like the above, and work day and night to try their best to present the Mullah version of Islam as the real Islam, while all attempts at restoration of Islam to its true pristine form, in the Quran are dismissed by them as ``customized``.

The only Islam they can debunk is the Mullah`s ``Islam``. The real thing they can neither approach in intelligence nor debunk based on fact. They are a defeated lot, totally defeated by the Quran and its superior presentation based upon fact. So they seek refuge in their only trick, present and restore the Mullah`s version of Islam as the real Islam and then mock it. They argue and fight and mock a straw man of thier own creation. This is their tactic but they don`t realize that as they do this, they fool themselves alone. Ali Sina, their patron saint has been doing it for a while now and people recognize his work for what its worth: garbage and not much else!.

Dont you think the present Islam is already customized by Mullahs?
