    Some Muslim groups attempting to reform from within see it differently.

    "Wearing the Hijab in Solidarity Perpetuates Oppression"

    The Muslim Reform Movement and others are trying to push their religion in a direction I think most secular people would support. I think Jacinda did the easy thing and not the right thing.
    • "We reject interpretations of Islam that call for any violence, social injustice and politicized Islam. We invite our fellow Muslims and neighbors to join us.

    • We reject bigotry, oppression and violence against all people based on any prejudice, including ethnicity, gender, language, belief, religion, sexual orientation and gender expression.

    • We are for secular governance, democracy and liberty.

    • Every individual has the right to publicly express criticism of Islam. Ideas do not have rights. Human beings have rights.

    • We stand for peace, human rights and secular governance. Please stand with us!"
