Islam cannot reform. As according to Muslims the Koran is in Allah’s words and mere man cannot change them.

010.064
YUSUFALI: For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of Allah. This is indeed the supreme felicity.

033.040
YUSUFALI: Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.

They just had a great pro-life march in Madrid with over 1 million folks. Of course, it was barely reported...but they did it and this was wonderful on many levels. With BXVI, a lot of Spanish Catholics are rediscovering their faith.

Does Islam need a Reformation?

No. It needs to be destroyed.

Great essay.

The Western clothier would suspect that the burkha was invented to hide some of the shortcomings (by Western standards) of the odalisques.

I always thought so.

Maybe what Islam truly needs isn’t a reformation but a collapse. Instead of a reformation, a disintegration. One can always hope, right?
