I am not American but what about Bernie Sanders?

Heb geprobeerd de pagina te vinden. Misschien iets mis met de spelling?

As a former Catholic monk let me be the first to welcome you to this community. My advice be critical of all the opinions here and follow your own straight way.

Yes, salat has been my entry into quranism. The idea that God demands from us that we pray five times a day is preposterous!

All, thanks for the welcome.

Welcome I am new here as well!

In his introduction to islam "No God but God" Reza Aslan mentions quranism in a positive light. the following quote is from the final chapter "Welcome to the Islamic reformation"

"Indeed, one of the fastest growing and most dynamic movements in islam today is being led by an international community of Muslims, called quranists, who reject all sources of authority in islam - the Hadith, the sunnah, the shariah - save for the quran."

He even compares this to the sola scriptura of Martin Luther.

I have been reading this message board for over a month now so it is time to introduce myself. I'm a 47 year old Dutchman living with my British Pakistani wife in England and in my twenties I used to be a catholic monk for 2 years.
I read the quran for the first time in my early thirties and 5years ago I did online shahada after the attacks on Gaza made me a muslim. I did a public shahada at an Islamic society so I could marry my wonderful wife 3 years ago and did my best to be a Sunni Muslim. After 9 months of praying 5 times a day I had a nervous breakdown and left islam for a while. Two months ago I told my wife I would be a muslim again but this time on my terms.
I now pray twice a day and the beard is gone. I owe this site a lot for now I can be muslim without losing my sanity!
