Though I appreciate Mr. Aslan’s achievements, as an Iranian writer and activist, I must say that I fully disagree with him and so do a huge section of the members of the Iranian Student Movement inside Iran. What Mr. Aslan is, is another enthusiast of Islam who has the luxury of living OUTSIDE Iran and enjoys all that secular life has to offer him.
By all appearances, there are liberals in Islamic areas—but Reza Aslan does not seem to speak for them.
