7 questions to ask a moderate Muslim

by Infidelesto on April 21, 2008 · Comments

Our buddy at Mosquewatch has a nice, simple list of questions for anyone who claims to oppose terrorism and radical Islam.  These questions should especially be asked to any Muslim in America claiming to be moderate.

Since the moderate voice here in America is either pushing the Islamic agenda in America or otherwise completely silent, it’s very difficult for Americans to know whether or not their Muslim neighbor is a moderate Muslim or not.

Here are a few simple questions to ask that will clear the air…

  1. “Apostates”: Do you support killing them? Should leaving the faith of Islam be punishable by death?

  2. “Beating Women”: Is beating women ever acceptable, and if not, do you reject those decrees of Islamic law that sanction the beating of women? Do you also accept stoning women to death for committing adultery?

  3. “Calling Jews pigs and monkeys”: Do you believe that Jews are in any way sub-human and if not, do you reject Quranic interpretations that claim they are?

  4. “Declaring holy war”: Do you support declaring war against non-Muslims to subjugate them to Islam? Do you believe that it is fair and reasonable to offer non-Muslims three options: Conversion, Paying the Jizya, or Death?

  5. “Enslavement”: Do you support the enslavement of female war prisoners and having sex with them as concubines? If not, do you reject those interpretations in Islamic Law, for “Ma-Malkakat Aymanikum”, which justifies such actions?

  6. “Fighting Jews”: Do you support perpetual war against Jews to exterminate them, and if not, should those Muslims who incite such war be punished?

  7. “Gays”: Do you believe it is acceptable to kill gays, and if not, do you reject those edicts in Sharia Law which claim it is?

  • "If despising those who wage jihad in the name of islam"?
    - If you believe that everyone who lives in Mecca or considers Mecca a Holy City wants to wage jihad, you must be living in the world dreamed up by bin Laden.

    "If I had I would be chopping muslims heads off and youtubing it, shouting “God is great”."
    - Hence, the label of a bigoted degenerate, not a murderous degenerate. Do you see the difference? Besides, how are you any better than those animals who picked "New York should be nuked" on that poll?

    If despising those who wage jihad in the name of islam, and wanting them dead to protect the innocents they wantonly butcher, and prevent them from doing further harm makes me a bigot, then I am proud to wear that label. As for the degenerate label, I do not think you fully understand the meaning of that word. I have not declined or sunk into a morally lower vicious state. If I had I would be chopping muslims heads off and youtubing it, shouting "God is great". Like many muslims have done in recent years. I bear you no ill will for your opinion of me. That is your right. Just as it is my right to voice my opinion that mecca should be nuked and the crater filled with pigs' blood.
  • 1. Rudy, you are a bigoted degenerate, who is an embarrassment for this site.

    2. These seven questions are too basic to accurately determine whether or not the responder is a moderate. Many of the radicals who comprise the majority of American Muslim establishment, i.e., CAIR, MPAC, MAS, ISNA, etc. would answer “no” to every one of these questions. But that wouldn’t make them moderates. The questions must be a lot deeper than that. While even the following questions cannot provide complete accuracy, they will paint a lot clearer picture.
    Does Islam Need to Be Reformed?
    Should Muslim community accept responsibility for terrorism?
    Should Islam have a dominant status?
    Should Sharia be abolished?
    Should people be free to portray Prophet Muhammad?
    Who holds moral high ground in the Arab-Israeli conflict?
    Is Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization?

    Muslims Against Sharia,

    I have seen the sight, and I voted in one of the polls. I voted for "Mecca should be nuked, and the crater filled with pigs' blood"

    Another question for moderate Muslims in light of the fact that moderate Germans did not hate and fight the evil of totalitarian Nazi law and the murdering Nazi war machine:

    Will you hate and fight the evil of totalitarian sharia law and murdering jihad?
  • Expendable
    Just one problem. Remember, it's always acceptable for a Muslim to lie to an infidel. Just keep that in mind.
  • Storm-Rider
    Here are a few more important questions to ask:

    1. Do you believe that all people are created equal?

    2. Do you believe that we are all endowed by our Creator with individual human rights including the rights to life, liberty and creative pursuit of happiness?

    3. Do you believe that human governments, including their constitutions and branches of government, are established in order to secure those essential God-given human rights - as opposed to human government established in order to be the actual source of those human rights?

    4. Do you believe that just government power derives from the consent of the governed? In corollary, do you believe that government power which rules without the consent of the governed is unjust and is thereby the source of government tyranny?

    5. Do you believe that liberty at a minimum means freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly and to petition government, right to bear arms and act in self-defense, right to own property obtained by creative labor and to privacy at home, right to vote and to regular uninterrupted elections?

    Any "muslim" that answers NO to these questions would, technically, already be apostate themselves wouldn't they? Kinda like Catholics that never go to church. I think you'd find many so-called muslims that don't agree with any of this stuff, but do consider themselves "good" muslims and can't understand why most folks hate their guts. They just don't get it. The crazy thing is, muslims beat up on muslims more than anybody else. It's like a feud that's out of control. People are frickin' looney tunes!
