The reforms that Islam needs are:
1) to recognize prior scripture as authentic and authoritative.
2) to recognize Jesus as the Son of God, the Messiah, and as the means of salvation
3) to recognize Mohammed as a false prophet
No modernization of women's or human rights is going to change Islam's nature. Only a true change of heart and an embracing of the Creator's plan will do.
(It's all just smoke & mirrors anyway)
When will the Muslims denounce the teachings of the Koran dealing with Jews and infidels?
By your logic, does my own religion, Judaism, also need these reforms?
The PhD student was just quoting the Quran. How much reform can they really impose? What takes precedent, protests or the Quran?

O you who believe! Take not the jews and the christians as Auliyaa' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliyaa' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliyaa', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the zaalimoon (polytheists and wrong doers and unjust).

That's why I boycott ALL Muslim owned businesses in America. At the risk of sounding like a Bircher, how do we know that our money isn't going to some terrorist cell in the Middle East?
i dont expect you to reform, muslim. i expect you to die.
In Dearborn, Mich., earlier this year, Imam Mohammed Mardini welcomed Christian women who weren't covering their hair, over the protests of men who wanted them barred."
How absurd... If you are not a member of that religion, why insist that you don't have to follow their rules ?
Moderate Muslims = those lowlifes who fund the killing and stand by, silently.
Radical Muslims = those subhuman garbage who do the killing, and whom are hidden and protected by the Moderate Muslims.
CAIR = those subhuman filth whom raise money for the radical trash, and lie, lie, lie about their agenda.
ACLU = hate-America traitors who actively try to subvert and destroy America. Part of The Fifth Column.
RICO Act = should be used to duly charge, try, convict, sentence and execute Muslims, CAIR and ACLU.
Keep firing until they all reclaim their personhood and start thinking for themselves.
That's the problem. Moderate Muslims are Muslims who are either ignorant or, or ignore, much of their religion. They will quote from the earlier verses of the Koran, when Mohammed advocated peace, love and understanding with the infidels (when Muslims were a small, weak minority) and ignore the later, belligerent verses.
Women are now allowed to walk into the mosque through the front door. LOL
A good question if you don't understand Islam. The law of Allah is to be imposed on believers and unbelievers equally. Just ask the Christians in southern Nigeria for example. They are faced with Sharia Law in some states and face penalties of death and dismemberment for disobeying Islamic principles, stealing, etc...
In June mosque authorities publicly reversed policy and said women could enter through the front door and pray in the main hall.
WOW!
It's a convenient place for fitting strap-on explosives.
