Islam has no Martin Luthers but many Solzhenitsyns
2004-09-29
....There are no Martin Luthers in Islam. But the Solzhenitsyns of Islam are everywhere. Solzhenitsyn was not a reformer of communism. He was a dissenter and he spent many years in exile for his opposition to communism. He would have been completely neglected and forgotten had it not been for the free world that remembered him and made his voice to be heard.

Today the dissenters of Islam are ostracized and scorned by the ummah and they are in hiding. Nonetheless they are active and express their dissent unreservedly. The majority of Muslims are not going to hear them. They are ignored. It is again up to the free people to provide a venue for these voices of dissent to be heard.

Don't ask; "where is the Muslim Solzhenitsyn". It is these Muslim Solzhenitsyns who ask; "where are the free people". "Why no one is listening?", "Why they are we ignored?"

for what its worth, I think cable TV should have one of these guys on at least for 15 minutes a week --- it would balance the many 'the terrorists don't speak for Islam' people who've been on TV every month since 9-11

#1  You need to have someone write about it the way Solzhenitsyn die in "The Gulag Archipeligo". I have always been disappointed that there is not someone out there that is muslim and believes faithfully in his religion but is vehemently opposed to the terrorism, violence, restrictions on women, eduction and medicine, etc. to come out and write a great expose in the form of classic novel. Rushdie isn't muslim and his work was typical upper west side radical chic ha, ha, ha until it got dangerous. Where are you Ali?
