		<description><![CDATA[The Torah (like the Qu&#039;ran) prescribes some fairly mideival punishments for minor misdeeds like shrimp consumption. But no modern rabbi would call for the execution of shellfish-eaters- because the enlightenment. The middle east needs the historical combo of capitalist development, democratization and secularism that transformed Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Citing objectionable verses of the Qu&#039;ran isn&#039;t actually going to change anything; evicting the imams and mullahs from political life, like clerics have been evicted from political life in the west, will.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have little respect for Spencer, who defended the Milosevic regime in the 90s, obscenely comparing Serbia to Israel. (um, Israel did not actually commit ethnic cleansing, Serbia did...) but I have to say this is a great article, Jasser, along with Irshad Manji and Stephen Schwartz, is a brave and eloquent critic of radicalism. and CAIR should change its name, its not the Council on American Islamic Relations. More like the Council on American Wahhabi Relations. :(]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jasser speaks of each muslim working out his own interpretation of Islam.  This is a non-starter.  Dr. Salah al-Sawy, secretary-general of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America (AMJA), 28 March 2011 explains:
  “the [muslim community] possesses no power except to acknowledge and obey,
following the saying of the Most High: 
&quot;It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[He is not claiming that it is divine - he is being sarcastic, by claiming what Muslims themselves claim. 
According to Islamic jurisprudence, criticism of Islam is forbidden - period. There is no room for any debate in Islam because to do so would mean criticizing the prophet Mohammed which is expressly forbidden to both Muslims and non-Muslims.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While CAIR is the greater evil, I am not real fond of Jasser, either.  Claiming he is a devout Muslim while dismissing 3/4 of its evil doctrine is like a person declaring he is a devout Nazi while he is fighting the Germans.  I frankly cannot understand why anyone (Jasser) would insist on identifying with an ideology (Islam) where you disagree with 70% of its doctrine and 99% of its leadership.  I see two options for this contradiction:  Confusion or lying.  Jasser is attempting to make Islam into something it never was and will never become.  He ought to start his own religion and call it Jasserism, not Islam.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With all due respect to Dr. Jasser, if he believes that Islam can be reformed, he is embarking on a unicorn hunt. He labels himself a devout Muslim and a patriotic American and does not realize that the two are mutually exclusive.
     Freedom is a heady brew, and many Muslims in the West, influenced as they are by America&#039;s liberal (using liberal in the classic sense) ambiance, feel they can reform Islam. They cannot, and they should not receive too much attention from anti-jihadists because it distorts the nature of the battle we have ahead.
      Of course CAIR took after him - how much does it take to ignite CAIR anyway? And, of course, orthodoxy always hates heresy more than it hates non belief.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Islam has not reformed itself in 14 centuries, and is not about to start. There is no one singular authority in Islam, but millions of clerics, scholars, imams, mukhtars, etc. Even if some Muslims eschew the violent nature of the Koran and wish to be &quot;moderate&quot; there is still no mechanism that could universally transform Islam. Also, again, even if there were such a means, it would take decades, if not centuries to reform itself. The west simply does not have this kind of time to wait for Islam to change. Rather by this future date, the Muslims will be in the ascendency, and as always happens when they gain the upper hand, they become more intolerant, not less, therefore even less likely to reform.]]></description>
