Caution against liberal Islam

Caution against liberal Islam

From Republika

Muslims should be critical of the liberal thoughts now
pervading our society, which is in fact experiencing a moral
crisis so that clear thinking is sometimes hampered.

Liberal Islam teaches religious tolerance, offering the
inclusive theology of pluralism, with all religions having a
universal truth. Politically, it rejects the application of
sharia law and justifies secularism.

In terms of women's emancipation, liberal Islam absolutely
equates the roles and rights of men and women without exception.
Its freedom of expression also reserves the right to religious
denial and apostasy.
