A Few Dozen Secular Arabs and Berbers Sign A Petition On The Need To Ignore Or Change Islamic Texts

Here.

It’s good that they publicly recognize that what went on in Paris, or in the Islamic State, or all over the place when Muslims behave violently toward non-Muslims and those Muslims they consider to be, and label as, non-Muslims, does indeed arise out of the texts of Islam. But if there are 1.2 billion Muslims, and about four dozen signers of this petition, half of them Berbers from Morocco (and that identity tugs away from Islam), how long with the world have to wait? And can non-Muslims, who should certainly adduce the petition as evidence that the morally and intellectually tmost advanced self-described Muslims deplore this “Islam had nothing to do with it” insistence of Cameron, Kerry, Merkel, Obama, bet the security and wellbeing of their societies on initiatives such as this? They cannot.
