We'll put the text of the leaflet below, though maybe not as well formatted.

ARE YOU A REAL MUSLIM?

To be a real Muslim you have to recognise that the Qur’an is the perfect words of Allah, as revealed through his Messenger the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh).  And to be a real Muslim you have to believe all of the Quran. 

Many verses of the Qur’an declare that Allah is “all-powerful” and “can do all things” [e.g. 2:20, 59:6].  So he could not have any communication handicap in writing his perfect book.  And indeed, the Qur’an itself declares that it is a clear book (12:1); conveyed clearly (10:15); easy to understand (44:58); and explained in full (6:114).  (More verses point those things out but you only need one anyway.)

And nowhere does the Qur’an say anything like “If you aren’t sure what a verse means, just ask an Imam or someone qualified to interpret it, who you can recognise by the official badge they wear etc.”.  Any Imam or “scholar” who does claim to do that “interpretation” would necessarily be putting themselves in place of Allah’s Final Messenger, and disbelieving those Qur’an verses saying it is clear and easy to understand, and thus committing a major haram sin. 

And verses 2:85-86 make clear that Muslims must not just pick and choose which of the clear and easy-to-understand verses they believe and follow.

So in order to be a real Muslim you must believe that man was created from a blood clot [96:1-2], from water [25:54], from clay [15:26], from dust [30:20], and from nothing [3:47].

And must believe that “Every being that is in the heavens and on earth: all are devoutly obedient to Him.” [30:26] ....and also believe the Qur’an’s hundreds of mentions of those who are not obedient [2:11-20, 3:10-12, etc etc] and the horrors that await them.

And you must also believe Qur’an 4:11-12 and 4:176 which state the Qur'anic inheritance law, and prove that 1 + 0.25 = 1, and that 1 + 0.125 = 1.  Because, when a man dies, and is leaving behind three daughters, his two parents and his wife, they will receive the respective shares of 2/3 for the three daughters together, 1/3 for the parents together [both according to verse 4:11] and 1/8 for the wife [4:12] which adds up to 1.125 times the entire amount.  A second example: A man leaves only his mother, his wife and two sisters, then they receive 1/3 [mother, 4:11], 1/4 [wife, 4:12] and 2/3 [the two sisters, 4:176], which adds up to 1.25 times the original amount. 

You must also believe the Qur’an verses whch declare that the Bible is a true revelation [e.g. 5:46-47, 10:94], and also believe the other Qur’an verses which contradict it (for instance about the death of Christ [4:157-8], and most notably as to whether we should hate our enemies rather than love them (re which note Luke 23:34; Matthew.5:44; John 18:11). 

You must also believe the hundreds of verses complaining about disbelievers and those who (for some mysterious reason) only pretend to believe [e.g. 2:8-20, 63:1-11, 4:61, 4:140, 4:145; 8:49. 9:64, 9:67.] 

You must also believe in the Islamic year, even though 670 ‘years’ earlier Julius Caesar had already calculated a year accurate to the Earth’s seasonal changes within a fraction of a day.  You must also believe the Qur’an’s clear and detailed commands to “strictly observe the fast till nightfall” [2:187] when that can mean fasting for weeks continuously in Polar regions. 

And to be a real Muslim you must also believe the Qur’an verses which declare that a man walked to and reached the places where the sun rises and sets in a muddy spring [18:86, 18:90].  And believe the other Qur’an verses which never speak of the Earth being a globe but only of it being like a flat carpet rolled out [5:19, 20:53, 43:10, 5 0:7, 51:48, 71:19, 78:6, 79:30, 88:20, 91:6]. 

Real Muslims must also believe various other verses with evidently clear and easy to understand implications about terrorism such as 2:216, 4:77, 48:20, 8:41, 59:6, 59:7, 4:24, 33:50, 33:52, 48:16, 4:74, 48:29, 9:123, 8:55, 3:85, 98:6, 9:41.  They must also believe the clear and easy to understand command of verse 5:32 is only for “the Children of Israel” (i.e. Jews).

What a real Muslim shouldn’t believe is that Allah had only ever lived in Arabia and consequently only knew about a flat-earth polar-less winter-less Arabic-speaking universe.  And shouldn’t believe the rumours that millions are now leaving Islam (and joining ex-Muslim groups) even though they encounter death threats and more.
