Common misconceptions about Islam - help needed
-
Please make sure that you always put a disclaimer in with this type of work and make it absolutely clear you are promoting a reformist/Quranist interpretation of Islam, otherwise you unwittingly become an apologist for mainstream Islam.
After reading your works, people (especially non-muslims) think there is nothing wrong with Islam and that all criticism of Islam is islamophobia.
Make it clear that you are indeed a critic of mainstream Islam and that you have been declared kafir by pretty much every prominent Islamic scholar because you reject hadith.
In fact, the title "Misconceptions about Islam" is obscurantism. These are not misconception, this is reality ... it is how 99% practice Islam.

peace burhan, all,
I somewhat agree with your take on it, so have incorporated the following statement on the homepage
"Unfortunately, there is often a difference between what Muslims believe/practice and what The Quran actually says."
Probably not as explicit as you'd like, but enough to make people aware there is a difference.
In any case, two more misconceptions have been added, now making the total 50.

the one who reject hadith = kafir according to them...
thats why for s sunni muslim , shia is kaffir and jahanmi
and for shia muslim , sunni is on wrong track...both mainstream schoolings of islam rejected eachother hadith and on that authroity they declared both of them kaffir... bravo
and intrestingly with in the schooling of both of them there are sub groups rejectinng eachother hadith, self claimed fatwas and considered as kaffir by other group... like
wahabi vs sunni
deobandi vs wahabi
deobanid vs sunni
hanfi vs shafi
malki vs humabli i can go with further with that list... anyways...i did not see any disclaimer/headings on their work and books...
first of all when i ask the first question from all of them , they parrotly repeat the same thing...
becoz you are not following the sunna , so you are kaffir...
what is sunna= they dnt know
what is kaffir = the one who reject sunna... hmmwakas add another misconception about islam..
declaring kaffir somebody with self proclaimed fatwas... wiwthout knowing the defination of kaffir per God laws -

Thank u for this reminder
Just a remark the violence of speech is also a reflection of impotence in action. In this tribal society one could not engage a violent action against one of their people... Until the alliance is broken with his expulsion from the city
