Moderate, centrist Islam.

After the enemies of the faith—from among the disbelievers and the hypocrites—failed to persuade the Muslims to abandon their religion,
0:19
and failed to convince them that it is a false religion,
0:21
they turned to a different kind of invasion.
0:24
This was done by professing the religion of Islam,
0:27
acknowledging that it is a true religion,
0:29
and that its Prophet is the truth,
0:31
yet claiming it is not to be understood in the way some extremists understand it today.
0:36
So they alleged.
0:37
Thus, proposals began to emerge calling for a moderate, centrist Islam.
0:42
By this, they mean a diluted Islam,
0:45
one that is amorphous and stripped of its core tenets and constants,
0:49
in accordance with what the disbelieving West envisions and advocates.
0:53
Research centers were established to promote this agenda,
0:58
such as the American RAND Corporation.

This narrative was adopted by a faction of the hypocrites within the Ummah,
1:05
including secularists, tyrannical rulers,
1:08
and some of the more permissive Islamists,
1:11
whether out of ignorance regarding the reality of this malicious call,
1:15
or out of following their whims and desires.
