  • Introduction
  • The pathological state of Islamic identity
  • The guardians of the temple
  • The forty theses
  • The past as history is always a self-interpretation of the Muslim in his everyday reality
  • The "Holy scripture" is always autonomous. The Quran does not speak by itself: it is the people who induce its expression
  • Every Muslim woman and man has the freedom to interpret the Quran as she or he wants
  • A reform of Islam needs courageous reformers
  • The heritage of Islam must be open to research
  • The Quran itself speaks of the need to reform Islam
  • Reform of Islam means adapting to modernity
  • Self-critique and the critique of Islam is a declaration of love. It is a nuanced exercise of reason, not a blunt rejection of faith
  • The Quran as God's word has become over centuries the human word
  • Those who respect the Quran cannot take it literally
  • Since the word of God needs supplementation, the Quran must be thought anew in a modern and humanistic way for today's world
  • The Quran is only eternal and timeless as the foundation of humanistic ethics
  • Islam is not a universal religion, for the Quran is a religious scripture addressed to the Arabs
  • The proper creed of Islam is: "I attest, there is no god but Allah." (20:14)
  • The Quran itself emphasizes the truth of the Torah and Gospels
  • Muhammad is just a man like everyone else
  • To err is human: the Prophet, too, made mistakes
  • The Hadith arose two centuries after the death of the Prophet from political motives
  • The reform of Islam is a constant struggle against the obfuscation of reason
  • Until today, blind imitation is an attempted coup against reflective reason in Islam
  • Muslims do not need scholars as intermediaries between God and human beings
  • The mosques must finally be liberated from imported and self-made imams
  • God is not a tyrant who is eagerly waiting to punish people. God is love, mercy and grace
  • Islam is more than the five pillars and the doctrine of faith, namely it is also good conduct. Sola actio!
  • God has liberated the human being to freedom
  • God has bestowed on people freedom of expression
  • Freedom of religion also applies to Islam
  • No one has the right to declare other people unbelievers
  • The principle that "the dignity of man is inviolable" also applies to Islam and Muslims
  • Dialogue among Muslims is inevitable since there is no chosen religious community in Islam
  • Reconciled diversity in the dialogic encounter: to be religious today means to be interreligious
  • No religion possesses absolute truth and no human being has the key to paradise
  • Islam has not made women free human beings, but slaves of men. The women of Islam must rise up since their tormentors will no liberate them
  • The headscarf is not a religious requirement, but rather a historical product of male rule
  • Not the Quran, but the male reign of conservative Islam forbids women to be active as imams in their communities
  • Islamism has a great deal to do with Islam
  • Islam unreformed is not a religion of peace
  • The identity crisis of Islam is home-made. We Muslims are not victims
  • Humanistic-modern Islam shares the world with other religions and worldviews
  • Only a liberal Islam is sustainable
  • Epilogue.
