There is no single Islamic culture

An opinion piece by Mohamad Jebara reminding us that Islam, like other religions, has different sects or denominations, and that these also reflect their place and country. While I am not sure that Islam may be quite as fluid as suggested below, neither is it as rigid as some would argue:

What Canadian Muslims, including converts to Islam need is the freedom to foster a unique Islamic identity that is harmonious with their particular culture and nation. Islam is like water, it easily flows and moves around solid objects. As such, it can easily fit into the context of any cultural group.

Op-Ed: There is no single Islamic culture.
