Algerian author on Islam

Dr. Kamal Nait-Zerrad of Algerian origin is the professor of Berber civilization at the French National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations. He has both written several reference articles and translated parts of Koran.

He recently wrote for an Algerian-Berber web site about the danger Islam poses to the secular French society. He argues (translation in MEMRI's web site) that religion must adapt itself to the modern society and this has not happened in the case of Islam, which is what makes it potentially dangerous.

His contribution is certainly relevant and timely; he calls for Islamic reformers - hopefully they will appear sooner rather than later.
