The central problem appears to be the lack of will to peacefully coexist with other religions. This characteristic is pervasive in Islam, not just the Wahhabiesque sects. Islam will never be able to assimilate the notion of coexistence; the mere notion of choice to follow allah or convert to some other religion and coexist is alien. The Islamic urge to purge or submit is the central totem in Islamic faith. Such a tendency is anti-societal when the world is trying to achieve peaceful coexistence where individuals have the right to whatever faith they choose to follow as long as it is tolerant and can coexist in peace with other faiths.
Radicalization is the future of Islam (radicalization being the perspective we non-Muslims would have of their strict beliefs). Were it not so, the leaders of various sects would have waited for shear demographics to conquer the world ... the multiplication of pairs of Islamic faithful points toward Islamic population as the most dominant; world control under Islam would have been a fact within fifty to seventy-five years by mere reproduction in Muslim households (unrestrained by our 'enlightened' abortion madness), while the Western societies birth rates declined precipitously.
Well said. Part of the problem with Islam has been the inability because of its intrinsic features to engage in critical self-analysis, historically, conceptually. The writer above, in his sanitization and distortion of Islamic history displays this characteristic. There are attempts at reform but these are marginalized attempts at best. For example this site:
