What I enjoyed in the secularization reading was the talk about just how diverse Islam is but how knowledge of this diversity "may not be widespread" (Ramadan, 69).  I agree with the author's comments on how 9/11 caused a lot of grouping of all Muslims as radical extremists and how that is unjust.  Being Jewish, I've seen similar grouping myself.  A lot of people from regions with not many Jews picture all of them as crazy orthodox practitioners and tend to be surprised when they find out my religion.  Such "oversimplification is as dangerous as it frequent" (Ramadan, 69).  The way I see it is that religion is like a language.  While the main group is somewhat similar, everywhere you go there are always unique dialects.  Being able to connect to the text in this way was refreshing and I feel that increasing thought like that would lead to a much more understanding society.
