“Islam is unreformable”
You’re not muslim & neither am I.
So, I’ll leave that for these muslims to decide & work out.
Muslins are real good at working things out- look at the shia/sunni community- ha!
He is still correct.
You don't have to be muslim to have read the koran and the hadith and to understand the impossibility of reforming islam. It was born in blood, thrived in blood and exists today as it always has. Killing infidels and terrorizing it's adherents who stray.
nuconvert, the Christian reformation was founded on extra-biblical actions taken by the church, and demanded a return to the biblical basis of theology.
A muslim reformation requires fundamentally rewriting significant portions of their ‘gospel’, removing the militant components (and the societal legal components, to bring compatibility with western law).
A failure to recognize this bedrock difference between the two situations in favor of hope is unwise, to say the least.
So, I’ll leave that for these muslims to decide & work out.

It’s been 14 years since 9/11. Reform doesn’t seem to be going too well. The evidence appears to falling into the Islam is unreformable column.

Andrew McCarthy was the US Attorney who prosecuted the Blind Sheikh for the first World Trade Center bombing.
To prepare for the trial McCarthy went to a number of Islamic leaders to learn what he could about real Islam versus the violent practices of Omar Abdel-Rahman.
To his surprise none of them would condemn the Blind Sheikh on the basis of Islam. They told McCarthy that as far as the teachings of the Koran and Hadith are concerned Omar Abdel-Rahman had done nothing wrong. He had violated American law but not shariah. It would pay to listen to them.
