I agree with you Mr. Baig to the fullest extent possible.
It was well presented and nicely referenced.Its refreshing to see someone does think.
Inspite of all the despair and negativity , I am hopeful of a voice like yours rising above all the existing confusion, fear and mistrust and proposing some sort of a reform in the way some Muslims view and practice Islam. As you have pointed out, there are areas that are susceptible to misinterpretation and the extremist elements mould them to propagate their ideologies. I believe there is an immediate need for people like you to bring this out in front of the community as identifying the problem is the first step towards a solution, and then work out a solution, a reform or at least a debate. As the solution has to come from within, there is a role for people like you and we non-Muslims are optimistic that it will happen before it is too late. Reformation is possible when people feel the need for it. There are examples of religions having reformed to accommodate the aspirations of their followers
