You seem to have a visceral dislike for Islam. With more than a billion people professing the faith and the number increasing daily, it is not going to go away.

There is a wide spectrum of the ways Islam is practiced throughout the world. Islam in Turkey, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, and the Kingdom, to name a few, is practiced much differently. The militant fundamentalists are the ones we need to deal with. Islam needs a reformation movement just like Christianity had.

I know, I studied the religion and its sects and the societies it created, and thus the contempt for the religion. The religion has almost everything to do with the politics of the region in some way or another.

Islam can not have a reformation like Christianity which brought it to actually following the words of the Bible. That is isalm's and the world's problem...fundamentalist who actually take the koran seriously. The only way to for islam to change is to not follow what the koran says; then what would be the point of the religion???

You are right on one thing, the fundamentalist need to be dealt with.
