Breitbart ^ | 12-4-2016 | Deborah Danan

TEL AVIV – A Saudi academic has called on Muslims to adapt themselves to the modern age by reforming mosques to be more like churches, with mixed prayers, seating and dim lighting, and to change the “fanatical and sexualized” perception of women by allowing them to take on leadership roles within the religion.

In an interview with liberal Arab website Elaph, published earlier in the year and translated last week by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Dr. Najat Al-Sa’eed, a Saudi communications lecturer at Zayed University in Dubai, said that “Islam is the only monotheistic religion that has not adapted to the modern age.”

I'm not joking when I say that this professor's life is possibly in danger. This is a redundant example of how the left gives Islam a super massive pass in terms of how they treat women (and homosexuals for that matter).

The reality is, what he proposes is already fact in mainstream Islam.

The evolution of Islam has already made the changes most places.

ISIS and AQ are the counter reformation to Islam

The last time that Muslim scholars began to assert themselves during Islam's so-called "Golden Age' they were eliminated.

How long ago has that been? Over 700 years, I think.

Islam has never recovered its former glory, so-called'.

“Start the pool on when this man - a brave man I have to say - is murdered.”

I read a story about 10 years ago concerning a Saudi cleric who was espousing liberalization of the religion. He was asked by another cleric to visit him and share his views. When he arrived the other cleric shot him dead. This is allowed and “legal” under sharia law. If you feel you are more Muslim than the other guy you can kill him.

They will whack him as soon as they can find him; as sure as God made little green apples. That bunch is the epitomy of hysteria, hands down.
