On this date in 1985 progressive Islamic theologian Mahmoud Mohamed Taha was publicly hanged at a prison in Khartoum North, Sudan......Specifically, Taha embraced a women’s movement and opposed the imposition of sharia, at least in the absence of a radical modernization of the Islamic religious law.

I wonder what the reaction would to someone who wore a T-shirt with the image of this man.

In which country? In some it would end really badly.

On your average U.S. college campus.

On the average college campus? They have no cognizance of even U.S. History, let alone N.E. Africa. A t-shirt with thje sayings of FDR will get you scorn from the pseudo-woken!

His most important point: "it is nonsensical to talk of reforming Islam,a religion which is doctrinally irreformable." For revealing this truth he had to be executed.

I believe he is correct, but did not get executed for that fundamental Islamic belief. Islam is not reformable .

He was executed for supporting a women's movement and opposing Sharia law. -Tom '

maybe, but I think both.

May he rest in peace. A brave man.

Agreed, however, there is no peaceful solution to Islam.
