Really? What defines this all-or-nothing approach? Does a Muslim cease to be a Muslim because, say, he thinks that the economic benefits from taking very low rates of interest create enough prosperity that the appropriate Islamic response is to allow it?

Hei Gou... you haven't answered me after that very funny message

Peace
Interest is FORBIDDEN. there is no way around it. Dont listen to these so-called 'shari'ah compliant' banks. They all give and take interest.

But that in itself is an ideological position. You are making several implicit claims in that statement that may or may not stand up to independent scrutiny. Now someone like me who does not come from the same standpoint as you can see there are differences within and between the Muslim communities. You may not want to distinguish between Muslims, but I need to I am afraid.

Not that the category "Moderate Muslim" looks very large or particularly useful.

Every Muslim who follows the Quran and the Sunnah with the understanding of the first 3 generation of Muslims is moderate Muslim.

Islam is the middle way, extremism has no place in it.
