Such reform — the changing of certain fairly central theological principles — will not be easy to achieve.

No it will not, but in order for islam to survive, it must be completely revamped. The new islam should also change its name as well.

May as well co-opt the name, as well.

Islam is where Christianity was 500-700 years ago. Which makes sense, considering it was founded about 600 years after Jesus's time. I don't see any reason why it could not reform in the long-run.

The problem is, in the short run, we live in a world with weapons of mass destruction. Which makes waiting for reform a lot more dangerous than it was with Christianity.
