There are no fundamentalist Moslems. Or moderates. Or liberals. If you are a Moslem, you believe every word of the Koran is the actual word of Allah, eternal and unalterable. As if Allah whispered it directly in your ear. It the Koran says you must slay the idolators wherever you find them, you have no choice. Slay away. If the Koran orders the chopping off of a hand and foot on either side, get to chopping.

Mohammad is the perfect man. You and your children must try to emulate his every act. The Koran offers almost no guidance on how to live your Moslem life. For guidance, you must follow the Sunnah, Haddith, and Sira. These are the records of Mohammad's thoughts, actions, and life. If Mohammad had sex with a nine year old, this is an eternal standard. You insult Allah, and Mohammad, if you say this was only a seventh century custom, and not applicable eternally. If Mohammad took gleeful part in an all day beheading of 900 Jews, you must try to emulate him. One Daniel Pearl is an insignificant step, 899 to go.

Whenever the Koran or Mohammad is mentioned, these are the eternal, unalterable words and actions of Allah, and his perfect man. You must obey and emulate them. Or no virgins for you, apostate.
