What does it mean to be a good Muslim?

*

Omar Bakri Mohammed is not a moderate Muslim.

What is interesting about what he says here is his argument that a "moderate" Muslim is in-fact a non-practicing Muslim.

It brings to mind a question that we all need to ask. What does it mean to be a good Muslim?

~~~
Speaking exclusively to The Sunday Telegraph in Lebanon, where he moved in August 2005 — at about the time it emerged the British authorities might charge him with incitement to treason — he claimed police officers, soldiers and civil servants would one day become radicalised.

"When you start to ask Muslims to join your Army and your police you are making a grave mistake. That British Muslim who joins the police today will one day read the Koran and will have an awakening," he said.

"Those moderates are one day going to be practising Muslims. Now what happens if they are British police or in the Army and they have weapons? How much information do they have about you that they will use to serve the global struggle?

"They will revolt against the system if they have been failed by your foreign policy which is oppressive against Islam, or have been contacted by people who believe Britain is a domain of war."
