There is lot in traditional religious rulings that stands poles apart from liberal humanist values of 21st century. How can one persuade the "believers" to expunge regressive streaks of their religions? What to do when freedom of religion clashes with the values of Enlightenment? These issues merit serious consideration. All major religions (including Islam and Hinduism) face/faced these issues and I don't think there are straightforward answers.
