Study on Quranist, Quran alone, Quranites ect.

Peace Jonas,
Also, I would like to make it a point that Dr. Khalifa is NOT affiliated with us. It is true that he urged a return to the Qur'an, as we do, but he also claimed himself to be a Messenger of God - a claim he directly invalidated when he admitted to molesting a minor. Those that follow Dr. Khalifa are in a different category all of their own. The herald him as a Messenger of God and get quite offended when people dare bring up the fact that he molested a minor. Following false Messengers is forbidden and thus why they are not of us.
I know that seems a bit elitist, but it follows the same logic as to why the Nation of Islam are not accepted as Muslims by the rest of the Muslim communities They follow a man who dubbed himself as Elijah Muhammad and formed a personalized version of Islam that is both racist and insulting to the Abrahamic faith.
Just thought I'd clarify sun

Thank you Jinn for claryfying that. I'm aware that DR. Khalifa has some very different views in perhaps the most important issue but I still felt that it was a good idea to read his books because of his Quran only approach.
Thank you for contributing and setting it straight though.. -

Do you primarily reject Hadith on the basis of authority or authenticity? I am perhaps not a true Qur'anist because I tend to accept the Hadith that make sense or seem reliable. I do, however, realize that hearsay is inherently unreliable and especially regarding religion there is a lot of motivation for fabrication. Hence I accept those Hadith that do not conflict with the Qur'an and seem beneficial.

Thank you for your answers Aynur and Emil.
It seems there is a pattern that slightly over half of the answers come from people who are born Christian and then have embraced the islamic faith later on.. Do you think that this applies to the entire forum in general?
Hope to hear from even more with answers on my questions and again thanks for the help..

Thanks Wren and fbahadir for giving me your answers. I totally understand that you do not like the term Quranist but as I stated yearlier I used it to distiguish between the islam that people were born into and the islam that they are follwing now. Therefore I could not simply use the word "muslim" because it would have been confusing. I off course recognize that in fact the religion you are follwing is islam. Thanks again for your answers..
