[edit] Critic of Islam

Is he a critic of Islam or not ? If not then he should not be on this list List of Critics of Islam.--Amenra 03:24, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

He is a critic of Islamism and of sclerotic theology. I think it is very much an oversimplification to call him a critic of Islam. He is not, as far as I can recall from the one lecture of his I attended, a critic of Islam as such. I have only seen that list for the first time today thanks to your remarks, and I would have some concerns about it as well. Palmiro | Talk 03:32, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Murtad?

If he was judged to be a murtad, then he was judged to be an apostate. A heretic is known as a zindiq (heresy=zandaqa). Apostacy and heresy are different concepts. I think the text should be amended to read 'apostate' instead of 'heretic.'لقمانLuqman 00:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

According to the text, he is a murtad! For instance because he rejected the Quranic statement that men are superior to women [النساء : 4/33]. Or maybe the author of that passage who is claiming false information about the believe of the modern ulamâ, by writing in the "Humanistic Hermeneutics of the Islam":

   The classical position of the modern ulamâ about that issue is understandable as "they still believe in superiority of the male in the family".
