on the Dossier Reformist Islam

I would like to thank you for the Reformist Islam dossier. Thank you for introducing so many reformist Muslims. But I believe more needs to be done. Please present more detailed works of these authors including full translations.

Islam is at a cross road, the path Islam takes at this cross road is going to impact the rest of the world. Unfortunately at this point the Islamic Fundamentalist (anti liberal-democratic) voice is very strong. The voice of reformist Islam needs to be heard as well. Please help make the voice of the Reformist Islam heard around the world.

Books presenting the ideas of most of these Reformist Muslims are available, but these books are often published in the native language of the authors and are not available outside of the native country of the authors.

Since Islamic Fundamentalism (anti liberal-democratic Islam) is a global phenomenon, Reformist Islam needs to be helped to become a global phenomenon as well. The works of these reformist authors need to be presented to the world, i.e. to both the Muslim and the non-Muslim world.

With best regards,
