EDIP YUKSEL, J.D. is a progressive American-Turkish-Kurdish author/philosopher/lawyer/activist (too many hyphens and slashes, I know). His recent English books "Quran: a Reformist Translation", and "Manifesto for Islamic Reform" are available at http://www.brainbowpress.com. Since English is chronologically his fifth language, please ignore the mischievous "the" and other grammatical quirks in his articles.
