Actually, what we call the Reformation was quite bloody and resulted in state-controlled and controlling churches in places where there had formerly been none. It's not, in any case, a matter of "reforming" Islam, because Islam is a death cult where reform actually means adopting a purer and more death-oriented form of the cult. Time and time again, Muslims living in non-Muslim societies have gotten lax and learned to simply live and get along, and time and again, orthodox Islamic movements have risen up, sometimes exterminating the lax Muslims, and stirred up the violence and conquest mentality that is actually the essence of Islam.

Christianity is not a death cult, and killing and violence are actually alien to it, and it does not see itself as a political system; hence, reform movements that arise in Christianity are directed at making Christianity return to its essence on those occasions where it has gone astray because of the temptations of worldly power.

The big difference is that in Islam, "reform" actually means restoring it to its virulent initial form, and it has been "reformed" time and again to permit this to happen. What we are seeing now is actually one of those moments, and unfortunately, thanks to its oil money, Islam actually has enough technology and mobility to dream of taking on the rest of the world.

I don't argue your interpretation of the Reformation though I'm not entirely certain I agree. In any case, my suggestion for confronting the evils of Islam was to attack its centers of extremism and destroy them utterly. The sooner the better, especially before Iran goes nuclear. What is your's?
