I am not taking away the historical legacy, but it should not become a burden.

Jihad is nothing but making efforts to realise goodness in life.

Religion helps you relate with the universe. Buddha was indifferent to the concept of god yet he gave us values.

My personal belief is we should not bow to any object. But Islam was aware of this human weakness and fulfilled that need through Haj to kiss a stone. A stone is a stone but the vacuum was filled and it became the holiest object. I have performed Haj and seen the devotion of people braving stampedes only to kiss that stone.

Jihad is misused by fundamentalists. The Quranic meaning is not meant for war at all, in the sense of killing.

Women's position includes so many pre-Islamic customs that have become an integral part of the Shariat. I am fighting that. Triple talaq is not mentioned in the Quran. Of course, there is a controversy; some maintain that the Prophet approved of it. Even if he did, maybe he had social constraints.

To protect one's identity is a Constitutional right.
