Mrs. Don-o, that was an uncalled for cheap shot, unless you really think Christian dissenters from the bishop of Rome are no better than moslems.

I just meant that Muslims are not susceptible to "Reformation" because they are already devoted to "sola korana." There's no "reforming" people who insist that they're already reformed" -- that every possible question has already been settled by a text. And their barbaric text is unfortunately buttressed by the even worse hadith, plus 1400 years of koranic jurisprudence all tending toward the same end: terror and oppression.
They follow Mohammad. We (Protestants and Catholics) follow Jesus. Jesus is as opposite to Muhammad as it is possible to be. Therefore, a really zealous person who follows Jesus' example gets better and better, whereas a really zealous Muslim who follows Muhammad's example gets worse and worse.
I think we'd be in substantial agreement on that.
Please forgive me for not expressing that clearly to begin with.
