Beyond Reform

The Manrilla Blog: The Trouble With Muslim Pundits Today.

Manji’s axe to grind with authority extends even to basic tenants of Islam such as prayer. When asked about prayer she responded that she does not need anyone to tell her how to pray - that she can devise such a way on her own. Such thinking could not be further from the pale of Islamic theology 101. But make issue with this line of thought is not that Manji wants to “find her own way” but in that she wishes to seek accommodation in the orthodoxy of the religion. Wanting to be homosexual and pray in your own way is completely a matter of personal choice but there is simply no way to justify it with the texts, traditions and methodologies in Islam.

I can't disagree with that.
