I think Mark Steyn once observed that people calling for Islam to reform itself don’t realize that this IS the reformation. Reform makes it more radical, not less.

That islam is even capable of reformation is just more of that idiot moral equivalence crap.

Islam is practiced by those we call radicals as proper islam is written to be practiced.

It is political/social/legal ideology wrapped up in the guise of a religion as a tool of empire. Always has been. Always will be.

It was born by the sword. Grew by the sword and demands all the earth be put under its sword.

The law of islam. Submit or die.

Interesting point. Reform in the Christian church took us back in the direction of scripture. Reform in the Muslim church also took it back to its scripture. But because of their respective sources of their scripture, one religion became better. One became evil.
