Islam already had a reformation and it yielded the Shia branch of Islam.
Because everyone who disagrees with them must be murdered? That one there is enough for us.
Because islam is from the devil? That one there is for them.
Since Koran is from Allah itself, any “reformation” is heresy.
Islam is not capable of reformation.
The koran is written in such a way that they cannot remove one or two things without destroying the whole.
Islam needs to go the way of the religions that inspired Greek and roman mythology.
It needs an exorcism.
Observations from the Protestant Reformation.
The Reformation was not over the violent content of Catholicism. Even so, the passions stirred over issues of great consequence lead, at least in part, to wars lasting the better part of 2 centuries, and cultural friction to the present day, half a millennium later.
The violent faction of Islam is not going to recede from a fatwa, or series of fatwas. Even if an Islamic reformation were to occur (nothing on the horizon that I can see), look for things to get much, much, much more violent in the short to medium term, and for the whole thing to play out over centuries.
A nuclear powered tune up is what Islam needs.
Who is going to volunteer to lead the reformation? (Remember the old story, “Belling the Cat”?)
Not Reformation, Externation.
If the pagan stone in Mecca fell over, Islam would have a heart attack.
Oh, did I mention, they're all insane? Islam made them that way. After our descendants have lived under islam for a couple of generations (if we're foolish enough to allow such a thing), they'll all be insane, too.
This is naive. You can’t reform a religion whose “holy” book & founding prophet explicitly call for the death of non-Muslims. Forced conversions, the prohibition of apostasy, and intentional discrimination of non-Muslims robs the individual of free will.
A good Christian is a person that faithfully practices the precepts of the Bible. A good Muslim is an oxymoron; the best we can expect from a Muslim is that he ignores his faith.
Whole swaths of the koran need to be changed just to make it peaceful. Even IF muslims were living on the planet Mars, the hatred for non-muslims will never change because of the koranic leanings.
If annihilation is reformation, then OK
“reformed” mohammedanism is still mohammedanism. It’s still a bogus religion based on the demonic ravings of a mad, murderous pedophile.
To defeat the extremists for good, Muslims must reject those aspects of their tradition that prompt some believers to resort to oppression and holy war
Reformation? That would be abandonment. Islam is opression and jihad, that is its whole point of being.. Stop covering. There are no extremeists. Only those that actually follow Islam and those that say they do but do not...........
There has never been a religion with as inherently, evil dictates as Islam. It is the religion of the stupidest and most violent males on earth. Obviously, there are millions of Muslims who aren't violent or stupid. But they're ruled by those who are.

I would argue that both reformation and revolution incorrectly describe what is underway. A better descriptive term is reversion.
Islam has evolved to suit the hundreds of millions in the non Arab countries and to a lesser extent in Arab countries. The modern Islam is not nearly so demanding or harsh as it was. Prayer time for instance is not so rigidly observed or enforced. Few radical terrorists come from say Indonesia or Malaysia or Bangladesh.
The various radical fundamentalist are not reformers but religious ultra conservatives insisting in rolling back the current Islam to some idealistic past.
The Islamic radical movement is the exact opposite to the Christian reformation where the revolution was against or opposed to the Roman Catholic Church that so many bad things going for it that great masses of various populations just left.
The commonality is that both the Christian Reformation and the Islamic reversion will take many many years, It is not going to be over quick
