Dear Dr Pipes,

The reader Mohsin Khan from Delhi used the words 'reform' and 'Islam' in the same sentence. He also said that he was a Muslim from India. This is a very good sign. We need more people like Mohsin Khan. Like all religions, Islam needs reforms. The core principles of Islam (pillars) are very acceptable and can be easily followed by an individual in the privacy of his/her home. They can also be quietly practiced in public without any problem. It is the umbrella around these core principles that causes problems for Islam and everyone else. And, not all parts of this umbrella are bad. Just some. And those need reformulation.
