Here are some videos that will help people to better understand the Muslim world. These five videos are from a conference at which Reza Aslan and Irshad Manji talk about the religion and social problems in the Islamic world under the rubric of "Muslim reform". I find this discussion interesting although my personal view is that all organized religions are corrupt and dangerous.

Part 2:
Part 3:
Part 4:
Part 5:
My view on this "debate": Reza Aslan sounds impressive but has no coherent view that fits into liberal ideals of the West. I distrust him. I absolutely love Irshad Manji. She has truly internalized the ideals of the West. She has something useful to say about reforming Islam.
