As Salaamu alaika DArgento,
I understand bro. And welcome to the forum. )
As-Salaamu Alaikum, peace
because people already have their minds made up of what 'muslim' means.. you go to a mosque and say these things in arabic that are un-quranic and THAT makes you a muslim,
some of us don't want to be associated with 'those' muslims

You can't use "Quranite" in the pejorative
sure you can... i recall a conversation my friend reported to me about someone who was gossiping about me "but he doesn't follow hadith...they call these people quraniyyuwn... and some people say that's worse than a kafir!"

I mean to say, that a Muslim, cannot seriously use it in the pejorative...

Don't misinterpret. Clarifying again - "Quranite" implies one who follows the Quran. A Muslim, is therefore, a Quranite. For a Muslim to use the word "Quranite" in the pejorative, that is the equivalent of using the word "Muslim" - it makes no sense.

Well, they are clearly either in the wrong, or non-Muslims.

As-Salaamu Alaikum all,
I agree with brother AaRon here. I have heard "sunnis" use the term "Quranite", etc. like it is a disease worse than aids, and definitely used to mean something worse than kafir (rejector) or munafic (hypocrite). But just like OPF is saying, it makes absolutely no sense to me for them to try to use the term this way. They are shooting themselves in the foot by doing so. How can a "muslim" try to explain to a non-muslim that those who follow the Quran only are the worst of people and non-muslim? Stupid on many fronts for sure.
As-Salaamu Alaikum, peace
