Re: Moderate jews denounce israeli aparthied regime and oppose israeli oppression
I was just wondering if he could cite a "moderate" Pakistani or Muslim who protests Islamic Orthodoxy in the way that the CU Prof. does or the Jewish marchers did with their issues of choice.
i.e. is there someone he applauds who protests certain aspects of Sharia Law for instance. Name some heroic, patriotic Muslims who vigorously dissent with the orthodoxy of their culture (Islam) or society(Ummah).
The point is this...it's rather easy too applaud the home grown critics of some society with which you see yourself at odds-they are brave, patriotic progressive seekers of the truth. There are many of these in Western society, and they protest what they believe to be the injust orthodoxy of their culture (capitalism, western mores, etc.)
It's true, I think, that it is important and healthy and often patriotic to earnestly question the source of authority in a culture. Do Islamic societies foster a similar
climate in which the vigorous scrutiny of authority is applauded?
