Mr. Pipes
I am an Arab Muslim woman and I don't feel that there is only one right way in all life categories that are missed in Islam. I hope you as an educated man will read a translation of Quran .

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf is not an extremist nor radical but he is the most moderate believer I have ever seen.

Again I wish you read well about these issues that you are asking about.

Wish you the best .

Daniel Pipes replies:

I studied the Qur'an in the original in Cairo in 1973 with the reformist sheikh, Ahmad Hasan al-Baquri. It was a powerful experience.
