What do they propose be done with those already radicalized, who believe the Medina part? I doubt there is a way to deprogram on that large a scale.

As they keep insisting, the beheadings, slave trafficking, and general violence committed in the name of Islam have nothing to do with Islam.

That may very well be, but without islam all the mayhem and atrocities wouldn’t exist.

Indeed.

I have trouble trying to think of when Buddhists last committed a pogrom.

Yes!

The same way we "reformed" the Shinto religion!

What we are seeing is not Islamic radicalization but Islamic revival. The true nature of Islam is terrorism and slaughter.

I tried to form a number of answers to the question. But they all failed when I asked myself, “What would be the purpose of a reformation?” The reasons behind the Protestant Reformation don’t seem to apply. How do you reform the violence of a religion without resorting to more violence?

Put it in the ‘ashcan of history’, along with Communism AND Obamacare.

Islam has already been reformed. The current zealots are attempting to return to the pre reformed state, to perceived purity.

The 20th century change effectively reformed Islam such that to the radical conservatives want no part of the current status quo.

“Can Islam be reformed?”

Short answer: No.

The “prophet” himself was an unregenerate killer. Islam is the fruit of an animal.

“Can Islam be reformed?”

Sure it can.When it’s totally destroyed.

Do unto the Muslims as they’re doing to the Christians.Wipe out all of their Mosqes and places that they hold of historical significance.thats a start.

Amazing that we put one of its adherents into the oval office.

Now that his term is nearing it’s end, he mocks Christianity on a regular basis while joking that he’s not a muslim.

ISIS owes it’s existence to our president.

I expect “O” is tired of his closet.

Also, he'll never stop bashing the US or Christians... and it's galling to think that taxpayers will be paying for his ‘security’ FOREVER!

No that is a stupid question.
Do you want Judaism reformed? Christianity reformed? Why would muslim want Islam reformed. It is what it is. Nothing is going to change the basic after several centuries. Deal with it..
