If current generation muslims don't approve of their historical actions, then why are they muslims at all? No, it is not just forefathers as people can convert into or out of it. Also, in 600AD, there was no Islam. So, it is not simply that one becomes muslim because he is born to muslim family. If one disapproves of the historical aspects of Islam, then he must disown that history and get out of Islam. Not getting out of Islam shows support for these actions
That is a silly argument.
Religion needs to be brought down from its pedestal that people have elevated to and people should be encouraged to follow the path of rationalism and scientific temper.
At least the system of being "pious" i.e. prayer and ritual as a way to compete with others to win more divine points or bribe God, should be reduced. I am not being biased towards Islam but being calm and rational when I say the real Islam can exist as a progressive socio-economic system even without the "being pious" part.
Imagine if we were to set up a Mars colony. Will being pious help us survive there or will being respectful of the Nature there help us survive ?
