Since the tragic events of 9-11, there has been an almost non-stop media and political frenzy over what has gone wrong with Muslims who at one time had led the world in science, mathematics, literature, and above all “justice”.The West’s response, and specifically the US, to the Muslim problem was to bomb and invade two countries (thus far) in order to re-educate the Muslims in how to be better human beings and how to be positive contributors to human society.

Needless to say, this “strong arm” approach has only generated hate and resentment from Muslims worldwide who now see that it is the path of war and violence that the West understands, not the power of persuasion or debate.What has gone unnoticed by the West, and what could have stopped all the senseless killings and wars, was that an Islamic Reform has been taking place and has been gathering pace since at least the 1980s.

Muslim thinkers and devout believers have asked the question “why have we regressed?” before the West ever considered Muslims or Islam to be the ‘enemy’ and before there was ever a need for an all out war to be fostered.

These reformists have discovered that the true teachings of Islam which had sparked a cultural and scientific revolution in the minds of all its recipients was indeed still alive and well captured in the words of the most sacred of text, the glorious Quran.

These reformists have discovered that Muslims only give lip service to the Quran, while in reality they follow mainly their desires as well as a series of writings and teachings known as the “Hadith & Sunna” which carry zero authority according to the Quran itself!

These reformists discovered that God’s law as recorded in the Quran allows freedom of faith, it promotes male and female equality, it encourages free thought and the pursuit of knowledge, it calls for accountability and the defiance of false authority, it calls for representation in government and forbids tyranny or oppression, and above all, it calls for justice for every man woman and child irrespective of race or religion.

The reformist movement within Islam has been gathering speed and already boasts a number of popular websites as well as a number of publications that share the true teachings of Islam with people in general and Muslims in particular.

What the future holds is only known to God, however, we believe that the reformist movement will be able to spare many thousands of lives on both sides of the conflict, and will bring Muslims back in harmony with the teachings of Islam.

The reformist movement has a number of unique and interesting projects which we would invite you to examine and judge for yourself:

Progressive Muslim Alliance for Islamic Reform. An umbrella of websites dedicated to the service of God’s system and the promotion of the true teachings of Islam. This alliance is designed to be extended to seminars, conferences, and open discussions at universities and other places of learning.

Charity work / Business Development. The providing of financial support to those in need; the providing of interest free loans to select applicants; as well as the funding of study centers and/or community aid projects.

Reformist Quran Translation. A unique work bringing together 3 persons (two men and a women) in a historic gathering to translate the Quran without the influence of sectarian views or questionable traditions.

Media Outreach. A program designed to produce short video documentaries, feature films, and animation projects to share with the public the accurate history and accurate teachings of God’s system.

Children’s Books. A number of volunteers are looking at the publication of children’s books and teaching tools to share what Islam has to offer to the young curious minds.

Music/Art Sponsorship. This project began with the sponsoring of an upcoming musical artist, and is planned to be expanded through the promotion of further artists.

The above are a sample of the myriad of projects being undertaken.
