Liberating Islam
by Mustafa Akyol https://www.legal-project.org/1532/liberating-islam Excerpt: Without freedom, there is no chance for genuine religiosity," Mustafa Akyol insists. A Turkish journalist, Akyol is trying to make a case for a more classically liberal Islam. He doesn't mean a diluted Islam. He sees his argument for liberty in the Koran itself. Almost ten years after the Islamist extremist attack on the United States, Akyol is optimistic that Islam can find that voice — that the voices of extremism can be overpowered by democratic leaders. A practicing Muslim, he is the author of a new book, Islam without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty. He talks about the case, as he sees it, with National Review Online's Kathryn Jean Lopez.
