It’s not ‘and’, it’s ‘or’.
I just finished reading “Heretic” this evening. Her insights on the threat of what she calls Medina muslims are chilling. I think it’s too late for the reformation she hopes for. However, the book is right up to date, including Charlie Hebdo, and is full of eye-opening information about jihadism.
Thanks for the link.
They are the silent majority and scared of the Islamists. They should take out the Islamist leaders.. That might be what al-Sisi is doing in Egypt.
Al-Sisi is posturing - he just took out the radicals to gain power - a “reformation” is just his way of differentiating his policies from the MB’s.
Al-Sisi knows that any actual attempt at reformation is to go against Mohammad’s commands and would be met with death to those attempting to reform the unreformable Islam - which, by the way, was already reformed by Mohammad back in the day.
It is just a play to either sell books: Hirsi, or shore up a political base: Al-Sisi. Only uninformed or ignorant westerners would believe in reformation just as they once believed in the tooth fairy.

“Islamic Faith and Western Civilization”.......
The two don’t blend well together.
No they are immiscible.
A very brave woman. Prayers for her safety.
True, General Al Sisi has spoken but seems to be a lone voice in Islam. I fear his days are marked. Further, he needs help. One voice out of 900 million is a pretty sad proportion and just isn’t going to cut it.
