Very brave woman.

Her five Islamic beliefs that must be jettisoned.

• The infallibility of the Prophet Mohammed and the literal interpretation of the Koran

• The idea that life after death is more important than life on earth

• Sharia law

• Allowing any Muslim to enforce ideas of right and wrong on another

• Jihad, or holy war

Problem is, reject those, and I don’t see how it’s Islam anymore.

It’s like saying Christians should give up faith that Jesus is the Savior.

As demonstrated in this link, Statistical Islam (pdf), religion is a minute component of the political ideology known as Islam.

“... the literal interpretation of the Koran.”

The koran is defined by what is written in the hadiths and sunnahs explaining exactly what is mean or not meant. There is no such thing a a literal interpretation of the Koran. Ali should know better.

The biggest obstacle to change within the Islamic world is the death sentence that goes with those attempting any change.

Ali is a gay atheist who believes that Islam is a religion, not a political system.

I like her and own two of her books. But she praises Obama in this article which is weird beyond belief.

The average muzzie lives in such dismal conditions, he has to believe in a better afterlife.

Sherman, you are very astute. Removing those 5 means that the new religion is no longer Islam

The Ismailis come close -- they reject points 3 and 4 (as the Aga Khan is their "sharia law") but not quite jihad (though the Aga Khan rejected this) and they hold to point 1a (infal of Mo) but not to 1b (as the Aga Khan interprets the esoteric meaning) and I don't know their view on point 2

Druze hold only to point 1a and their religion is probably not Islam while from what I know of Alawis, they also hold only to point 1a and 2
