An Ol' Broad's Ramblings

From the website Muslims Against Sharia, their manifesto states:
The need for reform
Islam, in its present form, is not compatible with principles of freedom and democracy. Twenty-first century Muslims have two options: we can continue the barbaric policies of the seventh century perpetuated by Hassan al-Banna, Abdullah Azzam, Yassir Arafat, Ruhollah Khomeini, Osama bin Laden, Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, Hizballah, Hamas, Hizb-ut-Tahrir, etc., leading to a global war between Dar al-Islam (Islamic World) and Dar al-Harb (non-Islamic World), or we can reform Islam to keep our rich cultural heritage and to cleanse our religion from the reviled relics of the past. We, as Muslims who desire to live in harmony with people of other religions, agnostics, and atheists choose the latter option. We can no longer allow Islamic extremists to use our religion as a weapon. We must protect future generations of Muslims from being brainwashed by the Islamic radicals. If we do not stop the spread of Islamic fundamentalism, our children will become homicidal zombies.
When I tried to check out their blog, I got this:
No doubt, the radical types, who want to destroy all us infidels didn’t much care for what was discussed on the site, so had to piss and moan, and get all offended….kind of like normal.
I hope their site will be up soon, because I’d really like to know how Muslims who don’t want to convert the world to their way of thinking have to say.  Can’t say as I actually buy into the moderate idea, but I’m willing to listen.
