You are arguing over definitions but it is useful. You make many posts that rely on these concepts so the definitions are relevant. That 'you are just arguing semantics' call is sometimes an irritating cached response.
You are making more than one claim here. The different-concept-alien stuff you have explained quite clearly (eg. from the first semicolon onwards in the parent). This seems to be obviously true. The part before the semicolon is a different concept (probably two). Your posts have not given me the impression that you consider the true<islam> issue distinct from normative issue and subjectivity. You also included 'objective morality' in with 'True', 'transcendental' and 'ultimate' as things that have no meaning. I believe you are confused and that your choice of definition for 'should' contributes to this.
I say I disagree with a significant part of your position, although not the most important part.
I definitely disagree with Tim. I may agree with some of the others.
