This week I speak with singer/songwriter and progressive Muslim activist, Ani Zonneveld. She is the Founder and President of Muslims for Progressive Values. She speaks to me from Malaysia where they just concluded a national conference about the attacks in France, Lebanon, and Iraq as well as the desperate challenge of violence in the Muslim community.

What's wrong with that is either you are applying externally learned secular values to your holy books or you are trying to make your holy books look like something they are not. I'm sure she's not doing the latter. To honestly do the former, you have to be open to all sources of wisdom, all traditions that have contributed to the modern world and judge them on their merits. When you do that, there is no more need to "reform" anything. There is only our best and highest aspirations and everything either supports them or not.
