The Muslim Reformation
Did anyone catch Dispatches on Channel 4 tonight? Tariq Ramadan was doing a special programme on ijtihad in Europe called 'The Muslim Reformation'. Details below.

I just caught the last 15 mins where he went ot Germany and met sisters re-interpreting teh Qur'an for themselves because most traditional interpretations were done according to the male psyche, and then a visit to Baker Street mosque where a sister was demanding men and women be allowed pray in the same space, and finally a trip to Pakistan where Mr Ramadan seemed nay impressed. Anyone catch teh rest to put all this in context?

Jazaka Allah Khair, read the review - seems like it was a good thing I missed it; may have smashed my TV.
Very good review - i mentioned it on MPAC's website, the only organisation who seem to be happy with Mr Ramadan's show (could it be becaus ethey got 3 mins of airtime themselves?)
MPAC were pleased withit, that's a shock. They were on it? I don't remember seeing them.
Oh yeah they loved it,the sister arguing with the Central Mosque was MPAC and sitting on the opposite side of the table was our dear brother Asghar.
SubhanaAllah! Just read it over on the MPAC board. I will have words inshaAllah.
