Critical Thinkers for Islamic Reform Edip Yuksel

Publisher Marketing: Centuries after the revelation of the Quran, we Muslims have accumulated more than ketchup on our noses. We have sunk in dirt until our eyebrows since we have traded the sound, liberating, and progressive message of the Quran, with the contradictory, enslaving and regressive dogmas of fabricated sects. This book is the by-product of "A Celebration of Heresy Conference: Critical Thinking for Islamic Reform," in Atlanta on March 28-30 of 2008. The thirty scholars and activists that contributed to this book do not necessarily agree on every issue. However, we all agree on the imperative of a radical reformation in the Muslim world. A reform under the guidance of the Quran with the light of reason, our Creator's greatest gift to us... God willing, we are planning to continue organizing these conferences under the title "Critical Thinking for Islamic Reform" and publish the articles of the participants in annual anthologies with the same title.
