The Not Moderate Muslim Thread

Ravage couldn’t get to the rest of the post. I will do so today. Got sidetracked.

do that.

But it doesn’t matter it if a sufficient statistic, the fact is that people do in fact define themselves with the term moderate. That is all I needed to prove. If you take GS as a microcosm of Pakistani society, 1/16 could be considered to be a sufficient number.

1/16 could be considered a sufficient number for what exactly? You have been speaking as if people ‘tend to’ define themselves as ‘moderate Muslim’. I hope you understand enough statistics to know 1/16 of a population is not characteristic.

But that is not the reason I posted. I posted it to show that people use the term moderate in day to day affairs not while discussing religion or politics.

its a particularly bad example given that the context is a number of ads was very non-political/non-WOT (every ad I paused to read, tx for that) and so people may not even have the whole oh i dont want to be associated with suicide bombing thing going on, they really mean moderate in the sense of he keeps 15 out of 30 rozas. You may find that religiously objectionable but Mulla CM but we wouldnt be having this discussion.

And back to my original point. The term moderate applies to political and socio-economic views and not to religious ones.

it is applied to religious views, the urdu term for it is miana ravi. It is also applied to religious practice, to describe how successful you are.
