The Roman Catholic Church, for example, was guilty of any number of horrible sins during the Middle Ages and the Reconquest. It has evolved into something much less violent. Why shouldn't Islam?

One can hope. But Islam seems short of established methods of doctrinal reinterpretation, which are necessary to reforms. It's much harder if a whole body of scholars, without any commonly recognized authorities, have to reach the conclusion, 'we don't interpret it like that anymore'.
