If you put a young God-fearing Muslim in a room
with an Islamic radical and an Islamic moderate, both trying
to win over the young person’s soul, the radical would
win again and again. It is because the canon –
hadiths, sira and Koran – are massively stacked in
favor of the radical position. Yes, there are violent
passages in the Bible too, but it is an uphill battle to
build a violent theology based on them. With the Koran,
building a violent theology is like rolling balls down a
hill. It is a huge uphill struggle building a
“moderate” Islamic theology on the basis of the
Islamic canon alone.
