Will Islam Ever Reform?

64

It is said, “change is the only constant of life.” This constant of life is a universal process that encompasses all things. Change presents two alternatives: either successful adaptation or extinction. Adaptation is akin to the performance of a complicated dance that environmental forces and conditions choreograph and all species aim to keep up. Thousands and thousands of species have failed to keep in step with the ever-changing requirements and have become extinct. We, humans, some of us, have “danced” successfully enough, thus far, to reach our present state. Yet the species’ past success is no guarantee of continued success. What makes matters even more daunting is the rapid rate that conditions are changing and the ever increasing complexity of these changes.

The confluence of ever accelerating changes in the environment, demography, economics, weaponry and much more are presently severely testing humanity’s ability and willingness to adjust. Sadly, many of us are still clinging to outmoded ways of thinking and obsolete practices. Some of us even, with nostalgia, wish for the long-ago times. No amount of wishing, however, can set the clock back. There is no such a thing as a time machine that can take us back to the idealized past. Even if we could go back, we would most likely find ourselves face to face with challenges and problems that were equally daunting at our point of development. The adaptability and change that are required of a five-year-old child are no less taxing, given his capabilities at his stage of development, than those that face an adult. Hence it is a delusion to wish for the “good old days.” The “good old days” had their own good old problems. All we can do, realistically, is to go forward, employing our very best collective effort.

Throughout history, adaptability has been central to the survival of all species. In the case of humanity, adaptability has indeed been paramount. In the face of major and minor changes, many human groups, the world over and over the millennia, time and again, modified their thinking and practices to successfully meet new challenges and opportunities. The willingness to change, however, has not been uniformly practiced through the ages by all members of our species. Those human groups that failed to respond adaptively were swept away by the inevitable force of changing conditions.

Based upon the above premise, can we say that Islam will eventually adapt to our century and reform itself?

Realistically, many people have tried it and failed. The idea of reforming Islam is not entirely new. Islam cannot be reformed the way Christianity was. For one, Islam claims that it is the perfect eternal faith for mankind. Divisions have happened and will continue to occur in Islam.  Yet reformation has not happened in nearly 1,400 years and is not going to happen. In the mind of millions of Muslims, Islam is carved in granite, just the way it is.  No change. Allah’s book is sealed.

Thus, Islam is not reformable for the following primary reasons:

* At the heart of the problem is the Qur’an, Islam’s sacred book, considered as literally perfect and the immutable words of Allah.

* Islam is a perfect religion.

How can fallible, limited humans possibly reform or improve the handiwork of the all-knowing, all-wise Author of the Universe?

Islam is a brutal, tribal warrior ideology that glorifies jihad and martyrdom. The Quran is replete with acts of murder, terrorism, and genocide. Can it ever correct itself?

Let us look at some explicit provisions of the Quran:

* Islam is misogynist. Men are superior to women. Women are to obey men and are to be beaten when they disobey or misbehave.

* Islam is racist. The Quran stipulates that the Arabs are superior to all others, and it clearly condones slavery. It explicitly stipulates discriminatory laws for slaves.

* Islam denounces other belief systems and marginally recognizes the validity of only two religions: Judaism and Christianity.

* Islam is violent. It not only condones jihad; it recommends it and promises great reward for the jihadist.

Nearly a billion and a half of the human species — a species supposedly endowed with the greatest of intelligence — swallows Islam and even dispenses it to others by any and all means possible. It is one of those great mysteries of life that defies all logic!

Sadly enough, instead of Muslims marching out of the suffocating swamps of submission to the meadow of liberty, Allah’s faithful aim to drag the rest of humanity into the deadly Islamic quagmire. However, the 21st century world is not willing to surrender to the clearly failed and failing Islamic experiment, simply because of the claim that it is the one and only true religion of Allah.

The profession of a clergy is to attract a select segment of men, men who have already significantly bought into the Islamic charter and its methods. As these men undergo formal indoctrination, a culling process takes place. Hundreds of thousands of these men, for a variety of reasons, do not advance very far. A great number of Muslims function in lower positions for the rest of their lives. They are the drones, so to speak. They loyally keep working the rank-and-file Muslim believers in villages and towns, making them toe the line and pay their tributes and cash to their parasitic handlers, who continue their highly successful smoke and mirror charade. A significant number may leave the ordination altogether, for a variety of reasons, and begin earning their living like the rest of the people.

In short, those who claim that they want to reform Islam want to transform it by stripping it of a great many provisions that are anathema to civilized humanity. These people are trying to make a new religion out of the old, with none of the divine authority that was supposedly bestowed upon Muhammad to form and launch his religion.

Agree. Islam cannot be reformed because muslims believe its word of God which no human can change. Every attempt to change it has met with death threats and murder.

Its the Left/Liberal /Feminazi pro-jihadi supported immigration that created the mess . Third wave feminism has created pussified men who won’t step up to protect them http://tinyurl.com/y9ll38ls

while muslims are more male driven thuggish unlike the feminized men and get away with it.

The only reason Islam has the numbers, is if one leaves one ends up dead if caught, no choices. Always fear

Here is one not mentioned above is the Quran says the earth is flat. Hardly a book written by God to get that wrong

Does the Quran really state that the earth is flat?

From your link:

The simple one word answer is “Yes”, I was writing about this a few days ago and clarified that the Quran does indeed promote a flat-earth view. There are many verses such as the following …

15:19 And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance.

20:53 He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels); and has sent down water from the sky.” With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others.

43:10 (Yea, the same that) has made for you the earth (like a carpet) spread out, and has made for you roads (and channels) therein, in order that ye may find guidance (on the way);

50:7 And the earth- We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and produced therein every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs)

The above is only a sample, there are lots more similar references.

Although I am in your camp, and although I firmly agree with the contents of your article, I cannot but conclude that no amount of reformation can impact upon the belief system that is Islam. The problem begins with the belief systems acceptance of the claim that the book of Islam was, and is, the word of their divinity, Allah. The irony of this divine claim is that the God that they claim gave them the tenants of Islam, endowed it, not with religious reverence, but with commands that require violence to propagate its claims. That those who accept this belief system would associate that with religious reverence is mind boggling. Therefore, reformation is a very unlikely expectation. Though I would concede that many who accept the belief system are not inclined to accept any of the violence associated with it, it has proven to be the cause of the reprehensible conduct that we have seen so often occur over the eons by its believers. With that in mind, I conclude that these believers cannot be trusted, and that those of us who believe in other reverent religions or do not believe in religion, are in mortal danger from Islam. I see Islam as no different than the other political isms we have seen develop during the past 100 years +, all of which do not provide for the basic elements of fairness that includes due process, equal treatment, freedom to speak, freedom to practice reverent religions, protest, vote, etc., none of which is available under the belief system that is Islam. These are the basic freedoms that are available to patriotic Americans, and I believe that those of Islamic persuasion and practice will destroy those basic rights and bring major turmoil wherever they are!

Islam can only be reformed by destroying their indestructible holy sites and showing them that Allah is not what they were led believe in, then they can reform by converting to another faith.

A “man” was shot and killed by Culver City (California) Police Saturday afternoon, August 18, 2018, after responding to a call about a woman running into the street covered in blood, screaming that her brother was trying to kill her.
They told him to drop the knife, dead-ender code for “charge us,” and properly put him down like a dog.

I think it’s kind of like cancer.
It lies in wait, until the just right conditions exist.
And then it explodes all over the body, kills it’s host, and then dies itself.
Starve it of the poison it feeds on (sugar), and it goes away to find a more “congenial” host.

Trying to reform Islam, is like trying to reform cancer to be harmless.

The issue with Islam is not that it won’t embrace change, but that it is a corrupt ideology to the core. It’s not like Judaism which improved over time and eventually morphed into Christianity which encourages timeless ethics and good deeds for all. Islam is based on emulating a very corrupt person, and even if you try to modernize it, there is no sound ethical framework on which to base society or the life of the believer. Above all, Islam does not teach that man’s heart is corrupt and must be renewed and reformed. It merely teaches outward good deeds and compliance while denying the sinful nature that everyone has and must conquer with divine help. Instead, it relies on outward deeds and brutal punishment to instill obedience.

Wholesale extermination is the only answer to their war mongering. If they cease proselytising then they should be quarantined in all the countries where they are a majority and left to trade among themselves.

They have nothing the West need except perhaps oil and that is on the slide as America is now a net exporter and there are huge reserves elsewhere awaiting exploitation together with fracking. At a pinch we could do without them now.

According to Reliance of the Traveler, for Muslims, acts that entail leaving Islam—known as apostasy or ridda—are ‘the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst’ (p. 595, o8.0). ‘When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed’ (p. 595, o8.1).

For our purposes, these eight acts (among many more) mean that a Muslim has apostatized (pp. 597—98, o8.7):

(1) To speak words that imply unbelief such as ‘Allah is one of three’ or ‘I am Allah.’ A mitigating circumstance on such blasphemy is if a man’s tongue ‘runs away with’ him or is intoxicated.

(2) Reviling Allah or his Messenger.

(3) Being sarcastic about ‘Allah’s name, His command, His interdiction, His promise, or His threat.

(4) Denying any verse of the Quran or ‘anything which by scholarly consensus belongs to it, or to add a verse that does not belong to it.’

(5) Holding that ‘any of Allah’s messengers or prophets are liars, or to deny their being sent.

(6) Reviling the religion of Islam.

(7) Being sarcastic about any ruling of the Sacred Law.

(8) Denying that Allah intended the Prophet’s message . . . to be the religion followed by the entire world.
