(Salman Rushdie has repeatedlyt called for a reform of Islam so that it can join the modern world, raher than fight against it)

I am from Afghanistan and I fully agree with Rushdie on that.
You just can't afford to live in medieval times forever...!

Its a shame really, Rushdie has some good ideas which I tend to agree with, but his error was to write a book that on the whole was highly offensive which made a lot of people angry. If he hadn't written it more people might listen to him now.

i personally don't agree with modernizing Islam nor do i agree with fighting modern society.the problem is that most people will not follow Islam correctly.if Muslim were to follow it correctly Islam could work with modern society.
i also like to point out as Muslims we cannot go around changing the words of god(Allah).if Muslim were to start changing the words of the quran and Islamic rules.we would be falling into the same deviation that the people before us(Jews and Christians) have fallen into.this is why the bible and Torah are corrupted today because people were changing the words of god(Allah)

How are Muslims fighting against the modern world? The Quran is relevent 14 centuries ago and still will be relevant in the future till judgment day. What ever advice we need is in the Quran.

emmmm what he said it is his opinion it is confuse idea, .. for me as a Muslim who live in a modern city we become modern not for others it is for us to be smart and show how we make our country modern .. you should come visit us .. and see how modern we are ? I think we should be modern 2 to challenge other countries and be the best. I am just proud of who we are and what we achieves ...

Rushdie does not know anything about Islam, and it is unfortunate that people like him present a wrong image of Islam.

What they need is a personal God. Say one named Jesus.
