"Islam is good muslims are bad."

This is the root cause of problem.

Actually, the converse is true-

"Islam is bad muslims are good"

This is because muslims can be reformed- but Islam of Hadiths and a blood thirsty deity can never be!!!

Funny how on the one hand, the author says:

"I am not familiar with her work. And I don’t care for what she stands for."

and then he goes on to say:

"Besides, this episode has come as a Godsend to a mediocre writer, loathed by her own people. Taslima Nasreen couldn’t have found better promoters of her sagging career."

Here goes another article, Islam is good muslims are bad.

Hallo, has there been any revision to islam to make it modern, is it still necessary to cut of the hands and public execution.

Can there be selective emphasis and implementation of the book. Can any muslim concert to another religion in pakistan.

Well well, read the book before repeating the slogan, muslims are bad.
