No that is a stupid question.
Do you want Judaism reformed? Christianity reformed? Why would muslim want Islam reformed. It is what it is. Nothing is going to change the basic after several centuries. Deal with it..

Both Judaism and Christianity have reformed themselves several times since their founding. That’s the strength found in those religions. The knowledge that human beings are imperfect in our relationship to God should make the observant Jew or Christian deeply humble and modest, and when that is combined with faith and reverence, a person can experience profound change. That’s why Christianity eventually wiped out slavery, even though it’s accepted in the Bible. There’s Reform Jews. And Protestants.

In Islam, you believe that the Koran and the revealed word given to Mohammed is perfect and unchangeable, so it follows that your adherence to the Islam makes you perfect. There’s no need for improvement. As a result, you get insufferable monsters, and calls for death to anyone who strays a speck away from what is considered perfect.

Levin wrote about the corrosive impact of utopianism on societies in one of his books. Islam claims utopia. And here we are.
