Is there a "moderate" version of Islam?

Question

I've met many moderate Muslims but it doesn't seem like they have a School of Jurisprudence. All 4 Sunni schools (Hanbali, Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i) are not at all moderate. They have had the same judgements or fiqh for the last thousand years. I studied each and couldn't find one that didn't have the death penalty for leaving Islam, adultery, homosexuality, drinking multiple times etc.. Shias have one school that is a little moderate because only apostate men are put to death where women just serve life in prison. All the rest is the same though. Should the "moderates" start their own school so they have a leg to stand on? I heard some moderates had a meeting in Florida to do just that but I'm not sure how it turned out. Is it possible for this new moderate school to respect Mohammad somehow but reject his "extreme" teachings and actions?

No. It could just be a person or persons are moderate muslims. (however its wrong to try to justify it.)

Answer 4

nice words but lack of knowledge!

"Is it possible for this new moderate school to respect Mohammad somehow but reject his "extreme" teachings and actions?"

Mohammed sal'la Allah alihi wa sal'lam is the prophet of peace. in any small city you see police force. many policemen.women are family peoples,

they prefere to be with family than to face criminals [like those of Bush and his gang] [whom I call the greedy 8]

let me tell ya dis. basically, islam is moderate. the extreme term was used by the medias to show islam as terrorist religion. but, it's not true at all. in billions of muslims on this earth, there are only hundreds or thousands who are the extremists. rather than billions, this number is only take a very small percentage from it. so, who is the real extremist? islam or media?

Answer 6

Yes there is.  What do you think happens when they  give a bomb to a bipolar person?
