Good interview. A couple of highlights: <<< . . . The terrorists who use religion as an ideology are not fundamentalists but innovators. Those who say terrorism has no place in Islam are the true fundamentalists. Over the centuries Islam has suffered from countless erroneous interpretations. This is why I wish to go back, to the very source, to the fundamentals so to speak. Islam is designed to make man’s life happy and easy. The so-called religious leaders, however, wish to complicate matters and make life difficult for the people. For example, Islam says women should dress modestly. That is fine advice. The so-called religious militants, however, want to impose a special hijab of their own design, a political prop that they use as a symbol of their political presence. Today you see that hijab everywhere, in Malaysia and even in London. Many of those who wear it do not know it has nothing to do with Islam . . . >>> <<< . . . Suicide is expressly forbidden in Islam. It is a grave sin . . . >>>
