What sombody labels himself as, is not my concern, and does not interest me. My quarrel is with the ideology of islam as it is defining itself by the Quran and the tradition of Hadith and the laws of Sharia. that includes that i have problems with everybody being in complianan ce with this truly quranic islam, and I fail to see that there can be any other Islam deserving this name.

I dealt with people calling themselves muslim, but who were not Muslim by Quranic definition. fine.

I also dealt with people calling themselves muslim, and really being in conformity with Quran's understanding of what islam is. Very big problem. I consider them to be enemies, and very often they behaved hostile or arrogant indeed.

and i dealt with people who are the first of the above, but do not care or ignore the existence of the latter. these I see as potentially problematic, for they may not be radicals, but their ignorrance allows to strengthen these socalled racils and deceive about their motivation - but for reasons of comfortable, lazy habits, not because a true and deep-anchored hostility on their mind. they are "Mitläufer" (fellow travellers ?)

As I see it it there are many shades of calling oneself Muslim - but there is only one colour of true islamic Muslimship. and the latter is the islam the Quran is meaning. Everything else is anything - but not Islam.

That'S why I say that islam cannot be refomred, but eventually societies can be influenced that finally maybe they do not reform Islam, biut move beyond islam alltogether and repalkce it with something that is not Islam for sure, but something different and something better.

as the poll is not precise in what kind of Muslim it means, I take the name by it'S word and refer to Muslims as the Quran defines islam. Thus, option three from me, of course. i do not hate them. but I identify them as an enemy to all non-muslim mankind, and oppose them with all determination, because there is no other choice.
