Do you see the Quran as a spiritual guide or organized religion ?

It is a spiritual guide that aims to transform of individual's life through the acknowledgment of God and obedience towards him.

However, religion and organized religion are definetely NOT same thing, on the contrary to islamic blessedness that have been achieved through personal relation to God, Organised religions are pure disasters, as social enforcement of a religion creates the path towards inhuman theocratic totalitarianism. The reason behind this is the fact that, once a group of politicians assume to possess "God's authority" within themselves, as if they have the right to reinforce religious commandnments, whole religion turns into a paganism. Now instead of obeying God through individual submission, you collectively obey to the rulers who abuse the people by usage of religion. Why do you think that Middle East is shit hole? European colonialism and American imperialism indeed had the impacts, but no need to reduce all social condition into victimology, middle east is suffering from the consequences of their disregard of individual freedom , humanly reason and tolerance. (in the most basic manner)

Arab nationalists have the specific desire to imply that their corrupt establishments and social missions reflect the message of Qur'an. Unfortunately, there are many brain washed Arab nationalists in that sub who try to associate Qur'an or God with an existence of a specific state. These people have no idea of what faith means.

Qur'an is a guidance for humanity, but ultimately each individual has to reach the blessedness through themselves. No individual can be coercively forced to do something, whether be believer or unbeliever.
