You may be right, but the problem is keeping them from nuking us during the next 400 years Or you're absolutely correct. But I think saying that Islam is incapable of reform is ridiculous.
We must continue to pursue democracy, education and the hunting down and killing of those (individuals and states) that wish to resist reform. Just like Bush is doing.

It seems that in today's world Islam serves a dual purpose; one of religion and the other of a political philosophy.................

Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Michelangelo, Raphael, Columbus,etc. These men were members of, and flourished in, 15th and 16th century Christian culture.
Islamic culture would do well to try and catch up to the 15th century european version.
