Deliver us from jihadism

Someone sent me the article linked to in the title of this post. It's written by a former extremist Muslim who is now calling for a reformation of Islam. I highly recommend reading it. I find his (more recent) actions impressive and worthy of admiration. And his point is valid: "...what Islam needs [is] a strong, charismatic personality who will lead us toward reform, and scholars who can convince Islamic communities of the need for a bold new interpretation of Islamic texts, to reconcile us with the wider world."
