Hi,
I'm Miss Nermin from Egypt, and I'm a Muslim who is studying at KU. I found this article true to a great extent. As a liberal Muslim who isn't covering my head with a scarf, but I still practicing many Islamic practices like fasting and praying. In the same time, I don't like to cover/uncover any part of my body without a reason. Additionally, I believe that any religion or idea is true and good as long as it makes human individuals and groups living and behaving in a reasonable and objective way. I consider myself so liberal and striving to be a good human, so are many other Muslims like me. However the problem which is facing many Muslims, that they might be considered as extremists if they are still practicing. This is wrong, and I, myself and many other Muslims who are practicing Islam might consider themselves liberal yet in a conservative way that respects everyone and every thought no matter how it's so different from Islamic thoughts and practices.
We are respecting our believes and all other human believes and want to communicate with any human been in a constructive way. I hope that more Europeans would think about Muslims outside the box.
I wish that I communicated my idea in a clear way and thank you for this article.
