| | A Muslim Fed Up with the Hype over the Danish Cartoons by Najat Kessler islam, muslim world, religion | Gather |
 | | Let me remind every Muslim living on planet earth today of what used to be a tradition of Islam in its brightest days in history; the forgotten practice of IJTIHAD, which means critical thinking, debating, dissenting, and practicing openness and tolerance within the religion of Islam. |
 | | Islam is living its darkest days today, and we have nothing to show for as Muslim; so let us not demand respect of others for being close minded, extremists but let us earn the world respect by becoming enlightened, wise, tolerant Ijtihadists. |
 | | I dare my fellow Muslims to take the high road of Ijtihad and start debating every verse of Koran not in order to convince someone else but in order to start learning about what it means to be a Muslim. |
