Sensible Islam - I.

The Colonel applauds Muslims anywhere who take a stand against Islamic obscurantism and terrorism:

President Pervez Musharraf said all Muslim countries should persistently pursue “enlightened moderation” and try to correct misperceptions about Islam in the rest of the world.

“We need to curb obscurantism and correct our direction — we should have enlightenment and moderation in accordance with Islamic teachings,” he said.

[Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad], speaking at the ceremony in which he received an honorary doctorate from the International Islamic University Islamabad, said Muslims should interpret Islamic laws in harmony with the needs of the modern times.
