Reform of Islam - I.

The US-based Free Muslims Coalition, which was set up after 9/11 to promote a modern and secular version of Islam, has proposed the following:

1. A re-interpretation of Islam for the 21st century where terrorism is not justified under any circumstances
2. Separation of religion and state
3. Democracy as the best form of government
4. Secularism in all forms of political activity
5. Equality for women
6. Religion to be a personal relationship between the individual and his or her God, not to be forced on anyone

"What does the Qu'ran say about terrorism?" By Patrick Sookhdeo, The Melbourne Anglican, 9/05 <-- Dhimmi Watch, 11/10/05.
