With all that has happened recently, the Washington Post has a series of articles and views from Muslims of differing walks of life on controversial topics. This Sunday, they ran, ‘As American as you are’, ‘Why do they hate us‘, ‘Losing my jihadism‘ and ‘Bush still doesn’t get it‘
I think that many - especially in light of the many mistakes they have made in life - are desperately seeking to reconcile their current life and understanding with the mistakes of the past and today’s rapidly changing world.

And of course anything other than secularism is salafism.
The whole “..beti, let me tell you of two great men, jinnah and zia…” didn’t help akbar’s & hamid’s articles either.
I’ve been there too Farooq, just got tired of it as well, plus it felt shameful to continue that behavior.
