| Sumario: | Islamic modernism contends that muslims should revise their conventional
understanding of the requirements of their religion in light of fresh
interpretations of authoritative texts. This paper argues that modernism
has much more radical impliciations than we might otherwise think. This
becomes clear once you distinguish between the arguments that social scientists
make about the requirements of a religion from the arguments that
participants in a religion should accept. 1 illustrate my views by criticizing
the somewhat conservative position of one prominent klamic modernist,
Fazlur Rahman.
