The Resistance Movement Posted June 29, 2005 Did america's classification policy towards "types" of muslims seal its fate? In america, it is not possible to speak of muslims and be considered knowledgeable on the subject unless you subscribe to the current classification policy which is as follows: Extreemist muslims are : those muslims who pray regularly, believe in all of the Quran, and who feel that the only sustainable, humane and fair form of goverment possible for humanity is that which is achieved by the complete and understanding practice of Islam. Moderate muslims are : those who attend jummah most of the time- to only occaisonally or just for eid, are willing to say that some of the Quran may be wrong, or that it may have been transmitted wrong, that covering for women isnt actually neccessary and will say that sharia either cant be implemented, or that it is not a good system. Liberal muslims are actually not muslims, they are arabs usually or from a muslim majority or heretage country, but they do not study islam, cover, abstain from non marital sex or alchohol, or beleive in family life. These are the definitions that have been driven into the heads of all muslims for a number of decades now and it is continually reinforced that there is no middle ground, so when the US says that they want to reach out to moderate and liberal muslims to form new governments in the region, muslims hear that the americans want leaders who will fill the ME and all muslim majority lands with night clubs and casinos, replace covering women with belly dancers, and who will teach young muslim girls and women that they are mentally deficient if they think that staying home and having children and raising them is not a waste of their tallents, which could be better put to use making men in the workforce look successful because of what the under payed female secretaries are doing for them. In the light of this crucuial information the US gov. to my knowledge would certainly have a hard time classifying individuals who are Muslims but neither consider themselves to be extremist, modern nor liberal. What would they call them? Atheist Muslims? What class would they type you with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
