Whats Liberating about Islam?
RITA KARLSEN: Whats liberating about Islam is that one is spared from having to think. This, essentially, is how a woman explained to me the change that had taken place in her life since her conversion to Islam. Since then, Ive thought about her many times, especially because at that time I didnt know very much about Islam. Now Ive learned more, have gotten to know many more Muslims, and just begun to worry about her lack of thought.
