The concept of "secular koranism", from the meaning of the two words themselves alone, is so utterly ridiculous

No it's not - no ine has even heard of it in 14 years. It's more akin to:

At the time of writing this, there are some 4,000+ religions in the world today. So, in essence, there are 3,999+ who have either got it wrong, or are, to put it in very simple terms, inveterate liars. Many, to haul in their fee-paying sheep, quote the old mantra “To believe you have to have faith and to have faith you have to believe.” So that’s that then. £20 on the plate please, but we accept Amex too. And besides, the pastor needs a new Rolex.

While some religions could be termed extremely questionable from the outset, if not at times just simply "cults", many seem to exist for the sole purpose of providing their respective CEOs with a second home in Beverley Hills, Ferrari cars and Rolex watches (the one the pastor in the previous paragraph needs to update so badly), all at the expense of their tithed, and some might say, astoundingly gullible "parishioners". 

Modern religions of the past couple of hundred years or so are very much like the equivalent modern phenomenon of insurance / travel comparison websites or food delivery apps. One starts up and others copy and follow, offering pretty much the same thing, existing for no other reason than jumping on the bandwagon as a route to a healthy corporate bank account and a subsequent buyout a few years down the line. Or in the case of Experian who actually insult the consumer by comparing themselves to their own brands (Experian, Vivago and Hotels.com), which is about as bizarre as it can get (that is, until you look into this "secular koranism", which is a corker of pure, beyond-bizarreness, conflicting nonsense, bordering on being a complete insult to the intelligence).

Competition is healthy, but when all are pretty much offering the same product or service, it does make you wonder.

L. Ron Hubbard, the science fiction writer who founded the multi-billion dollar Scientology industry, is widely rumoured to have said, way back in the late 1940's, "You don't get rich writing science fiction. The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion", (L. Ron Hubbard) which is precisely what the founders of many modern religions have also set out to do. In 1952 L. Ron then said, “The only way you can control a people is to lie to them” and he again used religion as an example. Lies, lies and more lies)

Well, it sure beats having to work for a living, standing up in front of a transfixed audience spouting any old tosh you can. Praise the lord. Glory be. Pass the begging bowls. Large notes only. Yes, we’re the lot with the currently Rolex-less pastor and we do take Amex.

Some religions are a bit like Amazon Prime. They are run by a ridiculously wealthy power-lover who doesn't pay his working minions all that well and who doesn't make it especially easy for his customer members to leave. However, as I mentioned in a previous blog on the subject, money does not seem to be the root of Claire Khaw's evil . . . . .yet.

"Secular koranism" presents one cult red-flag after another that should ring alarm bells even in the most docile of sheep pens. Remember, like L Ron Hubbard - "The only way you can control a people is to lie to them”). It is, in a nutshell, downright weird. 

But what is most worrying is that some of the red flags are, well, to put it mildly, very deeply disturbing. 

While it is our democratic right to have freedom of expression, many of Claire Khaw's ramblings conflict not only with basic human logic and impinge on human rights and freedoms, but more relevantly, her own ramblings often conflict with what she is actually preaching herself! 

Let's look at this in a little more detail:

The name "secular koranism" is so utterly meaningless

For a start, the two-word title is a ridiculous, and nonsensical oxymoron. Look up any dictionary, and you'll see that "secular" relates to "non-religious" while "Koranism", the made-up word the originator has devised. This means that should your IQ falter into single figures and you decide to become a follower, it implies, as would be the case with any adherent to one of the world's long-established bibles, that this is a rather "religious" origin to base your "secular" nonsense on.

There is no reason on earth why an Agnostic or for that matter, a non-Agnostic should change the religion they were born into and one they currently don't follow to suddenly convert and become a secular member of another religion that they then won't follow either! The big hint is the word Agnostic. It is totally nonsensical! Agnostics, atheists or people who are secular do not convert to another religion just to then opt out of it! They simply and straightforwardly opt out of the one they were born into! This is nothing but total stupidity.

You can by all means become a secular Muslim, that is, if Islam was the religion you were originally born into. Once you declare you are secular, it can ONLY be from the religion you were born into r currently follow following a conversion to that religion. And in almost most cases, converts have zero reason to convert to a religion and then become secular, unless to appease the parents of their intended spouse or the spouse themselves.
So, to become a secular koranist implies you are a "secular bible-observer", which is as stupid as the illogical concept itself. The Koran is not secular. It is a major world religion's BIBLE! A religion's holy book. There are secular Christians, not secular Old or New Testamentists. There are no secular Torahists. And you certainly won't find a secular auditor down at the all-singing, all-dancing, fun-loving Scientologists!

NO ONE ADHERES TO A BIBLE IF THEY ARE SECULAR!

The principle here is "what people don't know, they just make up". She is in essence suggesting that you should become the equivalent of a "vegan meat-eater".

Claire Khaw does not appear to know what she is herself

While the originator of this nonsensical "secular koranism" is an Agnostic, which she mentions quite regularly, although she occasionally changes her mind and says she is a secular koranist. She was of course at one time undecided (brought up a Buddhist actually), but now she's not too sure. She continually touts that her followers (all few dozen of them and everyone else who doesn't follow her) should all become Muslims. Not very secular at all.
Make your mind up madame! You seem more confused than we are, and we don't even get it all in the first place. That an Agnostic who has invented an alleged secular movement should push everyone to become a Muslim (or any other religion for that matter), is as completely disingenuous and infantile as it can stupidly get!
Here's another couple of many strange posts from this supposed "Agnostic" and "secularist. As they say "go figure". Turkeys celebrating Christmas.

 

 

Claire Khaw, the originator of "secular koranism" thinks Christianity is "kaput". 

 

Yet you dare criticise her Islam. (She claims to be an Agnostic herself, so presumably she too suffers from some sort of metal illness herself!)

Yet in the same breath she is claiming that Islam is a synthesis of Judaism and Christianity, the latter which she claims is kaput! Can you follow this warped logic, because I can't! WHat she is saying is that Islam is part synthesis of an older, longer-established religion she diligently insults and mocks.

 

And then she claims it is "Islam Lite" (together with a load of other guff). Forgive me, but isn't Islam one of the main world religion? And it exists because Allah does? She invented it herself 15 years ago!

This is all very hard to swallow when you consider this small selection below of many other examples available of the religion this Agnostic or secularist, or whatever she is wants the world to convert to, has, in essence "sponsored":

1. Osama bin Laden, together with those who flew 'planes into the twin towers in New York were not "kaput Christians"
2. those who bombed the tube train in London on 7/7 and who ran away dressed in burkas shouting Allahu's Snackbar (or whatever it is they shout), were not "kaput Christians"
3. he who blew himself up among families enjoying an event in the Manchester Arena was not a "kaput Christian"
4. those who hijacked the plane to Uganda and murdered a wheelchair-bound Jewish pensioner were not "kaput Christians"
5. ridiculous terrorist cleric Anjem Choudray is not a "kaput Christian" 
6. the multimillionaire leaders of Hamas who enjoy 5-star hospitality in Doha hotels in Qatar while the people they supposedly are leading suffer are not "kaput Christians"
   
7. "kaput Christians" do not murder people in Pakistan for blasphemy against a scientifically unprovable piece of biblical storytelling from 600AD
8. "kaput Christians" do not give out sweets and chocolate on the streets of Gaza to celebrate the murder of Israeli families by Hamas terrorists
9. "kaput Christians do not issue death threats (the joy-filled 'Fatwa') out on anyone who even looks at a Quran cross-eyed
10. those who murdered Israeli athletes at the Munich 1972 Olympics were not "kaput Christians"
11. those who sell their under-age girls into marriage are not "kaput Christians"
12. those who prevent girls from attending school, encourage 9-year-old girls to wear burkas, and demean women by stripping them of their independence and expecting them to dress in a burka are not "kaput Christians"
13. those who belong to the Iranian Morality Police who murder girls of student age for abandoning the burqa head covering are not "kaput Christians"
14. the approximately 95% of the Somalian female population who have been genitally mutliated are neither "kaput Christians" nor have they been mutilated by "kaput Christians". Somalia is not a Christian country. It is a kaput Muslim one.
15. those claiming that murderous martyrs have access to 72 virgins (now that is total unprovable nonsense) as a reward for causing death and destruction are not "kaput Christians"

All the above all tend to be Muslim as opposed to "kaput" Christians! As I have mentioned again and again, it is only a small minority of Muslims who carry out the above and again, it is not "kaput" Christians who do these things!

So, despite the world-wide murder and mayhem, the inventor of "secular koranism" says we should all convert and in essence support these crazies. Yes, there are certainly kranks and crazies in all religions, but very few do the above as a result of interpreting the very book that the inventor claims provides the best basis for a secular following!
And to think the inventor of this nonsense, allegedly with a law degree, claims she is also a "scientist". In a democratic world, this is real scary dystopian stuff!
Also, all of this from the inventor of this nonsense is worryingly reminiscent of a certain Mr Hitler at Nuremberg in 1933. She is trying to rid the USA of all other political parties. That's very democratic, eh?
Never again? 

Not if she gains control! It'll be yes again! And not just Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, LGBT's, political opponents, the disabled, trade union leaders, communists, Romas and Gypsies. It'll be you she'll be after.

And a final piece of legal morality to consider for the grand wizardess of secular koranism. She can associate, but NEVER condemns. Not once.

And like a broken 1970s record, to compound her infantile nonsense, she deludedly compares her ridiculous cult, with its Islam proselyting, to a continent-wide legal system.
