a muslim ...I am sorry about i what i wrote earlier.<br />a muslim can also believe in what i wrote earlier, so that doesnt necessarily distinguish him/her from a non muslim. (that quran is not perfect and islam is not the complete way of life.)<br /><br />Many muslims believe in open ended truth and like and revere some aspects of quran. May their tribe increase for muslims to be compatible and acceptable to the modern world.<br /><br />Non-muslims would then mean to not care so much about the holiness or sanctity of quran.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-51326417289714389102011-07-28T02:27:59.205+05:302011-07-28T02:27:59.205+05:30To answer your question "what it means not to...To answer your question "what it means not to be a muslim?"<br /><br />It means believing that quran is not the word of god and islam is not the complete way of life.
