ohmyohmyohmy. The level of ignorance required to make that statement is nearly incalculable.
And while he's busy rewriting the Koran you can rewrite the Bible.
Just out of curiosity, were you serious when you suggested the qur'an can be rewritten?
What do you think?
It's horribly idiotic to believe Islam drives the violence in war torn failed state developing world countries. It's basically like a stupid child looking for the simple answer, the distancing answer. It's so lowly and self serving, it's a wonder that anyone so utterly incompetent is capable of getting online.
Please explain what this literal interpretation is; which verses are referred to, what do they say, what is the literal interpretation within the context of the entire Qur'an and the sunnah and who does follow this "literal interpretation" and how does it show.Muslims who follow a strict literal interpretation of the Koran

Islam is not merely a belief, so that it is enough merely to preach it. Islam, which is a way of life, takes practical steps to organize a movement for freeing man. Other societies do not give it any opportunity to organize its followers according to its own method, and hence it is the duty of Islam to annihilate all such systems, as they are obstacles in the way of universal freedom. ...
This religion is really a universal declaration of the freedom of man from servitude to other men and from servitude to his own desires, which is also a form of human servitude; it is a declaration that sovereignty belongs to God alone and that He is the Lord of all the worlds. It means a challenge to all kinds and forms of systems which are based on the concept of the sovereignty of man; in other words, where man has usurped the Divine attribute. Any system in which the final decisions are referred to human beings, and in which the sources of all authority are human, deifies human beings by designating others than God as lords over men.
This declaration means that the usurped authority of God be returned to Him and the usurpers be thrown out-those who by themselves devise laws for others to follow, thus elevating themselves to the status of lords and reducing others to the status of slaves. In short, to proclaim the authority and sovereignty of God means to eliminate all human kingship and to announce the rule of the Sustainer of the universe over the entire earth. ...
After annihilating the tyrannical force, whether it be in a political or a racial form, or in the form of class distinctions within the same race, Islam establishes a new social, economic and political system, in which the concept of the freedom of man is applied in practice

Their fascination was arisen after the defenders of democracy and the
defenders of other such false ideologies (who have no religion) defended democracy simply for the sake of it, and they mixed the falsehood with the Truth.
..... They distort the Truth with Falsehood, and mix the Light with the Darkness, and the Polytheism of democracy with the Monotheism of Islam. But we, with the help of Allah, replied to all of these fallacies, and showed that democracy is a religion. But it is not Allah’s religion. It is not the religion of monotheism, and its parliamentary councils are just places of polytheism, and safe havens for paganistic beliefs. All of these must be avoided to achieve monotheism, which is Allah’s right upon His servants. We must destroy those who follow democracy, and we must take their followers as enemies - hate them and wage a great Jihad against them.

But one cannot get around what Jefferson heard when he went with John Adams to wait upon Tripoli’s ambassador to London in March 1785. When they inquired by what right the Barbary states preyed upon American shipping, enslaving both crews and passengers, America’s two foremost envoys were informed that “it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

What a convenient blanket dismissal. Nope, not Islam. There, done.
Iran is conducting military exercises shooting off its big missiles and guns.
“The message of this drill is our might and firm determination to defend our sovereignty, our holy ruling system, and our values against the enemies of Islam and Iran,” said Gen. Hossein Salami, the Guard’s top commander.
The text of Islamic doctrine in action today.
[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth,
[2.193] And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah...
Yawn. Military exercises have nothing to do with “Islamic doctrine”. Every country in the world with a military performs them.
Tell that to the General conducting military exercises claiming to be protecting the "holy ruling system" from the enemies of "Islam", under the supervision and approval of the highest religious authorities of Islam in Iran.
Or the ambassador to London back in the day.

"It was written in the Koran". The Koran, inspired word of allah himself. CLEARLY a part of "Islamic Doctrine"
I see a mention of Sayyid Qutb and Abu Muhammad 'Aasim al-Maqdisi. I don't see a third name. I also see no sources from where you quote from. What you quoted are not interpretations of the verses you quoted. They are simply parts of speeches or writing that may relate directly or indirectly to some of the verses you quoted and they do not differentiate between interpretation and literal interpretation. The Quranic ayahs have multiple layers of meaning.I provided the interpretations of 3 Muslims, 2 of them respected scholars most frequently quoted by the likes of AlQaeda and ISIS
Since you claim to know more about the verses than what is obvious from them, I asked you to explain what they say. You can use your own words or quote the interpretations of others.I provided 14 verses you will need to read them to know what they say
I mean a more specific group of people, preferably an individual or two. In religion a fundamentalist is simply one who follows the fundamentals of their religion. "Islamist" in the English language tends to refer to Muslims who believe in the sharia law (but it is used with many other meanings as well). It isn't possible for a Muslim to reject it or refuse the sharia law. So if the word Islamist had that meaning, then all good Muslims would be Islamists. Similarly, all good Muslims are fundamentalists in the sense that they follow the fundamentals of islam. This all makes your claim void of any meaning.Islamic Fundamentalist, sometimes referred to as Islamist.
You claim salafism, wahabbism and deobandi are one and the same, just different location? I have never heard of a Muslim who calls himself a wahabbi, have you?Among the Sunni most frequently they label themselves as Salafist. Wahhabi in the Mid east, Deobandi to the east.
Literally no different than a Russian general declaring their military exercises are to “protect the motherland”,

It's gross ignorance to not understand the driving factors in failed states and resulting violence. To blame it on a religion, an object, is absurd. We live in a world with atrocity and you blame a table.

Im not familiar with Russian motherland doctrine and what it dictates. Islamic doctrine dictates the authority of government and the law to be applied.
"And rule between them by that which Allah revealed to you, and do not follow their vain desires away from the truth which came to you". [TMQ 5:48]
"..Verily the 'Hukm' (command, Judgment) is for none but Allah.." [TMQ 12:40]
"Whoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, they are disbelievers" [TMQ 5:44]
"Whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are oppressors" [5:45]
"Whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are transgressors" [5:47]
What an absurd post.
Islam is not a physical object. It's a belief system.
