    There's no such thing. There isn't a higher authority in Islam authorized to speak for all the believers. Nothing similar to a pope or a patriarch.

    If you can't tell the difference between burka and a nun's habit, any further discussion on this matter is superfluous.

    You don't agree that human life should be more important than ideologies?

    Values can only be instilled through education.

    What do you mean "outsiders"? We're talking about Muslims who live in Austria. Why would non-Muslim Austrians see themselves as outsiders in relation to Austrian Muslim communities?

    This is not about helping or intruding, this is about finding ways to live together in a functional society - not side by side in parallel societies.

    Seeing how the Muslims fled their own countries to find a better life in Europe, I'd say it would be pretty stupid for the host societies to adopt the way of life of the failed societies these Muslims fled from.

    He is revered by muslims and leftist everywhere?
    He represents all muslims, or Irans?
    Nope, not shocked.

    One would assume so given his holy position. However, impossible to know how everyone feels about him. Probably against some muslim law to hate the guy.

    I doubt many outside of Iran pay much attention to him. And he's a Sunni? Not all muslims are sunni.
    Do all Sunni's believe exactly the same?


    And I doubt any leftists reveres the dude.

    You asked, "How about an acutal cleric who represents Islam?". By asking that question it seemed you wanted an answer from the most fevered and adulated Muslim of the past century, otherwise you'd have know your question was rather stupid, thinking perhaps there was an Islamic version of the Pope. I responded with "Is there anyone more representative of Islam than the Ayatollah Khomeini, revered by Muslims and Leftists everywhere?" Khomeini is/was representative of islam.

    Now, did you read what this very influential Islamic leader had to say? Did you read the link of the number of Gays killed by Muslims? Or did you self censor in order that your ignorance on the subject remains the same?

    Yes, I asked for a cleric. You added that one is revered by Muslims and leftists. Which is a really stupid thing to say.
    And I said I wasn't shocked. But you started being alt right personal attack and childish.
    Didn't think you were a typical partisan hack. I was wrong.
