Impure Islam by Irshad Manji is a fantastic editorial, originally from the WSJ as reprinted in Haaretz.

Ms. Manji runs the Muslim Refusenik website and is the author of The Trouble with Islam Today.

One of the most pertinent quotes from her website:

But I remain a hugely ambivalent Muslim because of what’s happening “on the ground” — massive human rights violations, particularly against women and religious minorities — in the name of Allah.

Liberal Muslims say that what I’m describing isn’t “true” Islam. But these Muslims should own up to something: Prophet Muhammad himself said that religion is the way we conduct ourselves toward others. By that standard, how Muslims actually behave is Islam, and to sweep that reality under the rug of theory is to absolve ourselves of any responsibility for our fellow human beings..
