Mustafa Akyol Quote

The main bone of contention is whether Islamic injunctions are legal or moral categories. When Muslims say Islam commands daily prayers or bans alcohol, are they talking about public obligations that will be enforced by the state or personal ones that will be judged by God?

He became a contributing opinion writer for the International New York Times in 2013.
