In the video below, Mustafa Akyol looks at separation of genders, female circumcision, honor killings, and more and asks whether they are pre-existing traditions or tenets of faith in Islam. Mustafa Akyol has set the stage for an intelligent and necessary discussion, which I hope we are capable of executing right here on elephant journal.

Enjoy the video, and leave your comments below.
