Pre WWII? Surely you jest!
And how do you think an islamic reformation is possible if one does not examine whats inherently wrong with islam in the first place?
question #6: What do you see that is wrong with islam and what parts do you think they should change?

I think there are many things wrong with nations which claim to represent Islam. I don't think it is Islam itself.
In the ME and Muslim Africa, I believe the primary issues are extreme corruption, lack of universal education, and unemployment, which all result in poverty. I'd throw in oppression of women and a complete lack of respect for human rights. Most of these emanate from Arab cultures, though Iran has all of these problems as well.
In Indonesia and the Phillipines, I think again, corruption, poevery and human rights violations are the dominant issues.
I have serious issues with Wahhibism, which has funded radical Islam in poor nations, perverted the Koran, and brought pain and suffering to millions, from Chechnya to the Phillipines. But I view this as a sect, rather than all of Islam.
