Reform, by definition, is not a complete break with tradition, but
a determination by scholars, activists, politicians and critical
thinkers to re-claim the tenets of their faith. Muslim communities
have historically displayed a tendency to preserve the status quo.
By contrast, the individuals and movements in Islam and the
Question of Reform are determined-often at great personal risk-to
push aside existing political and social elites and the
historically accepted interpretations of Islam and its place in
society. The perspectives examined in this volume avoid superficial
or apologetic examinations of Islam's political and social role.
Instead, they meticulously scrutinise the religion's public role,
often questioning the validity of dogmas that have acted as tools
of empowerment for existing elites for centuries.
