<blockquote>2. Macron has demanded that Muslim leaders in France come up with a declaration that Islam is not political. This is a small move towards the (rather pointless) 2006 Charter of Muslim Understanding (Batten, Solomon). Too little, too late. Muslim leaders will simply play word games ("Islam is not political" sounds good, but in reality they will tell those Muslims who question this "relax, Islam encompasses everything, we consider "political" to be an empty word, and Islam is not an empty word").</blockquote>

<blockquote>a) ban the repetition of Sura 1 every day in mosques (it's hate speech)</blockquote>
<blockquote>b) remove the laws in court/parliament banning the dirty kuffar from touching the Koran</blockquote>
<blockquote>c) get Muslims to denounce the history of Mohammed as a violent warlord & slaver (as found in Sira, Hadith, Koran)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Anything short of this is just deceiving the public whilst the 5th column grows in number. IMO "political islam" is a deceptive concept. It's no different from the deception of "Islamism" as something other than Islam (as pointed out in "Mohammed's Koran" an entire book on "Islamism and Islam" by a distinguished Muslim professor of politics failed to produce any distinction). I can't believe that after all we've lived through in 40 years since the Iranian revolution, we are still pussy-footing about with these silly neologisms, trying to pretend that Islam isn't totalizing.</blockquote> Looks extremely useful.
