A lecturer on Islam shared that we could understand each other better if we try to find a 'dynamic equivalence' between our different faiths...
For example, the dynamic equivalent of the Koran is not the Bible, but Jesus...
I've come to see that we have a lot of similarities.
You could find Sufi 'charismatics', modernist liberals, Harley-trotting Indonesian televangelist ala Benny Hinn, 'Osama' reconstructionists, fatwa-issuing fundamentalists, Sister-in-Islam feminists, early morning TV self-help motivators, even Khalid Yassin-type evangelicals, Shah Kirit apologists etc...
hehehe... i've leave it to your imagination to figure out who their christian equivalents are.
A public forum in Malaysia between hardliners and liberals was televised on national television some time back. Read all about it here...
