liberal Islam  

Definición

  • According to liberal Muslims, there is no clash between Islam and liberalism: individual freedom, democracy, cultural and religious pluralism, human rights, and gender equality are all sharable values. They legitimize the “reopening” of the gates of ijtihād (which means “effort to reason independently”), to interpret sacred scriptures in modern ways.
