Three of four schools say death for not praying, although tbf only Hanbali sees it as apostasy, the others allow a Muslim burial

You're an Egyptian who doesn't know who Sisi is and his stance towards the Ikhwan? That everything published online or off is vetted by the government? Are you really this stupid? This is worse than citing a biography of Trotsky published in Stalinist Russia and saying, "Bro, I'm Russian"

>I've have read such and such
He is lying, for example he refers to the four maddhabs, or schools of fiqh (jurisprudence) as Sharia "codes". These schools are not codes, they are different methodologies for arriving at rulings. There are maybe two codes in Sharia (and this is arbitrary and artificial, not part of Sharia itself), fiqh al-‘ebadat (what deals with ritual, purification, prayer, worship, and so forth) and fiqh al-mu’amalat wa al-adaab ashshar’eyah (this deals with law, social obligation, everyday morals, etc). Of the penal code, there are three elements: Hudud (this deals with adultery, theft, blasphmey, and so forth), Qisas (retribution, an eye-for-an-eye, this deals with murder, abortion, manslaughter, battery, and so on), and Tazir (things that aren’t covered under either of the prior two but should clearly be illegal, such as pornography). Besides the penal code there are lots of elements to Sharia like tax rules and financial regulation (selling unripe fruit for example is illegal). There is however no division of four codes, and even the four schools are only the major ones (Zahiri is a very minor but sometimes influential fifth school, and other schools have come and gone).

>Islam was a political system invented for accruing power
False. Revelation of the Qur'an started many years before the Prophet held or expected to hold a position of power. He and the Ummah were persecuted for many years in Mecca, facing boycotts and other hardship for just practicing their faith. His first wife, Khadija, may Allah be pleased with her, died from this, which he said was the worst year of his whole life. One night his enemies were fed up with waiting and paid assassins to kill him in his sleep. He escaped and fled to Medina, which is where he became established as leader, having a widespread reputation for fairness in arbitration. He established a constitution for the city which brought all the tribes and religions into a mutual defense pact that they would band together against an outside attack; quarrels between families or tribes or Jews and Christians would be arbitrated by him. This is when the first Qur’anic legal precepts began to be revealed, although they only applied to Muslims; other religions he governed according to their own laws.

They're Maturidi, i.e. they believe in rationalism and free will. They are Islamic but they follow a Persian rather than Arab school of Sunni thought.

>Yeah, having Wahhabist doctrine entrenched in your government means you aren't necessarily for terrorism.
Which doctrine are you referring to?

>The fact that you don't think stoning people in the street is pretty funny in-and-of itself, thanks. I had chuckle.

Stoning is Sunnah and supported by every madhab, although Shafi'i generally use beheading and Habali sometimes use death fall.

>they never funded the Taliban
The Taliban is not al-Qaeda, in fact the Taliban are certainly preferable to the side the U.S. supports, which is into bacha bazi, something the Taliban stopped

In fact the side supported by the U.S. kills more civilians

Follow the Taliban on Twitter if you can, @Zebehulah_M33 might wake you up

>Again, Saudi Arabia is the SOURCE of radical Islamism.

That is quite literally a meme pushed by Iran online very well, read this

>Like, assuming you are right, and Islam is an inherently violent religion,
I am not that guy, I am a different poster, I am a Muslim, and a Salafi at that. I have many issues with the House of Saud, they are corrupt Zionists, but they don't promote terrorism

>The Bacha Bazi practice remains one of the issues much talked about (in news article and documentaries). However, it has not been dealt with effectively enough to root it out from the society. Bacha Bazi exists as a sexual companionship between powerful men and their conscripts (young boys). Nonetheless, it has matured more inexhaustibly since 2001. The issue has been largely ignored by international partners, in a bid to keep their local allies (Militias) intact to fight the Taliba

>The Bacha Bazi practice remained outlawed under the Taliban rule, and death remained the punishment for the culprits. Initially, the Taliban movement started to fight local commanders involved in Bacha Bazi, highway robbery and so on. The Times newspaper highlighted in the article “Kandahar Comes out of the Closet” in 2002, one of the original escalations for the Taliban’s rise to power in the early 1990s was their unacceptability of Bacha Bazi practice. In areas under the Taliban control, Bacha Bazi became taboo, and men involved in the practice had to go underground and keep the practice in secret.
