Here’s another, with link to his site, speaks at universities and a host of other involvements. He was actually one of the first books I read to try and understand how muslims think. Of course now I just don’t know about any of them. But this guy wants to change Islam via reformation.
“Dr. Tawfik Hamid, is an Islamic thinker and reformer, and one time Islamic extremist from Egypt. He was a member of a terrorist Islamic organization JI with Dr. Ayman Al-Zawaherri who became later on the second in command of Al-Qaeda. Some twenty-five years ago, he recognized the threat of Radical Islam and the need for a reformation based upon modern peaceful interpretations of classical Islamic core texts.”
cw, there IS no “peaceful interpretations of classical Islamic core texts.” The q’ran is what it is. And that is all it will ever be. Anyone who says different is a liar. And you can’t disregard the hadiths. There is no changing any of it.
