Moderate Islam on the March
Intolerance is grabbing the Middle East spotlight, but there's good news from Muslim reformers too.
By Irshad Manji, IRSHAD MANJI, a visiting fellow in the International Security Studies program at Yale University, is the author of "The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith."
July 21, 2006
A LOT CAN HAPPEN in a week. We all know about the bombs, rockets and bullets ripping through the Middle East. Same week, different inferno: Terrorists, reportedly Islamist militants, blew commuter trains to shards in India.
Amid the hostilities, however, something else happened. Reform-minded Muslims made progress in reclaiming their future, both in the Islamic world and in the West.
Let's start with the Islamic world. For almost three decades, Pakistan has followed a controversial set of laws called the Hudood Ordinance. Supposedly based on the Koran, these decrees determine punishment in cases of rape and adultery.

It is GREAT to see the moderate Muslims in the world starting to rise up!
We should encourage them!

Give petty people just a little bit of power and watch how they misuse it! You can't silence the self doubt, can you?

either post your opinion, or stop starting new topics.

Set what record??? Just because some playa haters SAID I committed rule 8's doesn't mean they are right. I think it's kinda like the M.E. media that makes Israel look bad when they haven't done anything bad at all.
Don't tell me you believe that propoganda?!

In my 6 years here, I've never seen Demonhood appear in a thread for no reason.
So, um, yeah.

 You don't even recognize the existence of an Islamic goal of global jihad! There's not much that escapes you.
