Now that even the tolerant, liberal Swedes have elected an anti-Islam party to their Parliament, it’s pretty clear that such controversies are mounting because both the left and the right are confused over the politics of Islam. The left is wrongly defending Islamism—an extremist and at times violent ideology—which it confuses with the common person’s Islam, while the right is often wrongly attacking the Muslim faith, which it confuses with Islamism. Western thinkers must begin to recognize the difference between Islamism and Islam, or we are headed toward an ideologically defined battle with one quarter of humanity. At least a few on the left are defending Islamism because they think that they are defending Islam. Recently, a European policymaker told us that she had become sympathetic to Turkey’s governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) because “in the post-September 11 world, I wanted to defend Islam.” Well, the AKP, and other Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world, do not represent Islam. These Islamist parties, even when not using violence, stand for an ideology that is illiberal to its core—for instance, its refusal to recognize gender equality. In the same way that communism once claimed to speak for the working class, Islamism claims to represent Muslims. By defending radical Islamist movements, the left is helping only to give Muslims a bad name. The left ought to side not with so-called moderate Islamist parties, but rather with liberal Muslim movements, such as the Republican People’s Party in Turkey and the pro-democracy movement in Egypt, which support gender equality. http://www.newsweek.com/it-islamic-or-isla...

So what do they call it Robert? I heard a Muslim comment on an hadith, to the effect that when the Prophet was asked about the greatest danger to Islam to come, it would be from those whose belief reached no farther than their throats. Which Hadith was she referencing? What do you call these people the Prophet was talking about?

She didn't say which hadeeth. I didn't make a note of her exact words, just going by the best of my recollection and thought I'd start my search with you Robert. I'll see if I can find more.

Aḥmad, Muslim, and Ibn Mājah recorded a Ḥadīth from Abū Dharr who narrated that Allah’s messenger (صَلَّى اللهُ عََلْيهِ َوسَلَّم) said: ِإنَّبَعْدِيمِنُْأمَّتِيأَوْسَيَُكونُبَعْدِيمِنُْأمَّتِيَقْومٌَيْقرَءُونَاْلُقرْآنَلاُيجَاوِزُ حَلاِقيمَهُمَْيْخرُُجونَمِنْالدِّينِ َكمَاَيْخرُجُالسَّهُْممِنْالَّرمَِّيةِثُمَّلايَُعودُونَ ِفيِه هُ ْم َشُّر الْخَلْقِ َوالْخَلِيقَةِ “There will definitely be a people after me from my nation who recite the Quran yet it will not even reach beyond their throats. They will pass through the religion as an arrow passes through a target, then they will not return back to it. They are the worst of people, the worst of all creatures.” Ibn al-Ṣāmit, who narrated the Ḥadīth from Abū Dharr, said, “I met Rāfi’ Ibn ‘Amr al- Ghifārī and asked him about this Ḥadīth of Abū Dharr. He said, “I (too) heard it from 3 ”.)صَلَّى اللهُ عََلْيهِ َوسَلَّم( Allah’s messenger
