The verdict on Islam is still out ... still out ... still out ...
Reader comment on item: Muslim Acts of Beheading in the West
Submitted by RhetoricalGirl (United States), May 24, 2013 at 14:08
While I want to believe Zuhdi Jasser who says that this isn't, or doesn't have to be, Orthodox Islam or the Islam of a devout believer, nothing will change until Muslims living in Democratic nations are vociferous in their condemnation of these acts. With their condemnation, supporting Quranic scripture and Hadith must be offered. Is this possible? I think not.
Sadly, I believe that Dr. Jasser's beliefs are based on the erroneous Quranic translations done by both his paternal and maternal grandfathers. I believe he is a good and decent man, with good intentions, but his message falls on deaf ears, because it is not considered authentic by other Muslims.
