  1. >Vowing to crackdown on foreign influence on Islam in France, he presented an Islam of Enlightenment as an alternative, and he advocated introducing Islamic philosophers Ibn Rushd (Averroes) and Ibn Khaldun in French schools, the two of them are major figures in philosophy who were both attacked by Muslim extremists during their lifetime for their defense of reason and enlightened values.

    It’s a long read but a good one. I find the above idea to be very good. To counter senseless extremism, it is far better to learn, encourage and promote about the parts of Islam that are moderate and universal.

  2. They do, and not just him. But they have learned nothing since his death. Just look how they celebrated the accident that claimed Lars Vilks life, just cause he made satire of Mohamed. So many saying he deserved it.
