Det första stora steget tas nästa vår med ett internationellt toppmöte för sekulär islam. Flera internationellt kända muslimer kommer att delta, liksom forskare och personer som gett upp sin tro och nu ägnar sig åt kritik av fundamentalistisk islam.
Webbsajten finns på http://www.secularislam.org/
Och här är den inledande texten:
"In the last decade we have increasingly heard calls for a "reformation," a new Enlightenment, or a secularization and liberalization of Islamic thought and practice. And yet there is to this day no organized international response. At the same time, a growing number of secular Muslims and secularists from majority Muslim countries have been undertaking these intellectual and strategic challenges independently (here “secularists” includes both those who embrace a thoroughly non-religious worldview, as well as those committed to separation of religion from government and robust freedom of conscience).
The purpose of the Secular Islam Summit is to bring together these thinkers and activists in an ongoing cross-cultural forum and clearinghouse to generate and share new practical strategies and disseminate these to the public and opinion-makers worldwide."
Visst bådar det gott?
