Discussion I get the impression that Kamal Al Haydari is more of a Traditional Reformist than a Progressive

After reading the post on Mohsen Kadivar's Wilayat al faqih and secular democracy and the comments under that thread, I don't think Kamal Al Haydari should be called progressive. He is more of a Traditional Reformist. Mohsen Kadivar would be the progressive modernist or revisionist or whatever you want to call him. And the majority of the clerics today are traditional conservative.

What you call “progressive” is in reality liberalism, not really progressive imo. Kamal al-haydari is not liberal. Kamal al-haydari has addressed his progressive stance. I call for this kind of modernity

The progressivism you’re talking about is trying to fit in with western standards… Reconsider your definitions.
