A lot of wishful thinking is going on here. Islam is not going to change its stripes or vary from the course it has been on since the 7th Century when it began the process of proselytizing through violence and territorial expansion. The idea of an Islamic reformation has been bandied about since 911, but it is based on the false premise that Islam is capable of having a Christian type reformation. Islam is undergoing a reformation now, and it is towards establishing the fundamentalism of Sharia law.
The West should stop deluding itself with multiculturalism, and the ill conceived notion that Islam can be made compatible with Western civilization. It can’t. Islam is doing to Western civilization what it has done to the rest of the world, throughout its existence. Any experimental attempts to Westernize, liberalize and modernize Islam should be done on Islamic territory, not in the civilized world.
Very well said pallis!!
