rich. Just a preemptive strike....you said...." But if you would care to read on, you will perhaps begin to see that, contrary to popular misconception, Muslims are not all "automatons" that blindly follow and obey their religious teachers/theologians/leaders."... And....." find it very amusing and laughable that some folks who knew next to nothing about Islam suddenly became instant experts after seeing "Beneath the Veil." ..... The woman in the article you posted thinks much the same as I do and many others here who are against islam in it's present form. islam must be changed and that is what most posters that I have read are saying and that is what this woman is saying also. From article...." SHE does not wear the tudung. She does not speak Arabic. And in a religious field dominated by men, she speaks her mind. "..... " a religious field dominated by men," Agreed and islam in it's present form is dangerous. From article..." While her role as a defender of the rights of Muslim women had attracted many admirers, her shrill calls for a 'more humane' interpretation of Islam have stepped on the toes of religious scholars"..... " her shrill calls for a 'more humane' interpretation of Islam " Agreed, islam in it's present form is inhumane and dangerous. From article...." 'When religion is being used to punish me and govern my private and public life, then I have every right to say whether I like such laws or not,".... Agreed, when a religion is used as a punishment and a means of government it is dangerous. From article...." Muslims who support the views of Sisters mostly prefer to nod their approval well in the background for fear of attracting harsh stares.".... Moderate moslems fear the radicals and if the radicals appear to be winning what side do you think those moderate moslems will be on? From article...." women's groups such as Sisters could help Muslim societies interpret and reinterpret Islam in the light of modern circumstances".... Agreed. islam in it's present form is dangerous and must be changed. Well you get the picture. This is a gutsy Lady who is attempting to do the impossible and contrary to what you may think you will find many here who agree with what she is attempting to do. She like many here believe that islam is DANGEROUS in it's present form and MUST be changed if it is to survive in a modern world. So as you see your post is far from being an insult to those of us who speak out against the dangers of islam. Good post rich, See if you can find more people like us who want to change islam and I truly hope that lady survives for a long long time. So, are you beginning to understand now what many here have been trying to tell you?
