CanuckInUSA 0 #1 February 10, 2006 The world needs more people like Mohammad Khatami and I can only hope that many more Muslims of the world listen to him instead of following these radicals which have hiijacked the religion of Islam. More can be read about him here. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sen.Blutarsky 0 #2 February 11, 2006 Quote"After about two centuries of dispute between tradition and modernity in the world of Islam (there is) a high level of mental preparation for the acceptance of a major transformation in the mind and lives of Muslims," Khatami said in a speech at an international conference on Islam and the West. Khatami … [focused] on reforms in Islam and conflicts with the West. Let us actually witness this transformation and then we shall see where it leads us and them. At least Khatami recognizes that it is Islam which requires substantial reform. Better late than never. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adriandavies 0 #3 February 11, 2006 When in power Khatami could only be described as a moderate when compared to other current Iranian leaders. He was however more pragmatic than some. Perhaps he is now showing more of his true nature now that he is out of power and not constrained by the dictats of the Guardian Council or the Majlis.

The Old-Time religion vs the "modern" flavors. Control of the power structure in place vs those who seek to change it. Baptists. Northern, Southern, Primitive. All seeking to define the lives of others and speak as the voice of God. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
