Sun Tzu. You said...." Lorne, I am with Dennis O'Bell on the need for Islamic reform."....

I have said this very thing a number of times over the last couple of years and have been called down a number of times by those who support islam. I have posted articles by islam clerics calling for islam reform. And I believe they must change.

You said...." It will be this Islamic Renaissance that will destroy fundamentalist Islam and not any military force. "....

Agreed. But in the meantime I still say islam is a vicious religion that must be changed to fit in to days world.

You said....." I do not believe Islam is either entirely foolish nor do I think it is any more anti-freedom than many other systems'.....

I did not says islam was entirely foolish. I said some of their laws and ways are foolish and if you like I can post some of them to prove my point...their ways do not fit with todays world.

As for freedom IMO islam is the most restrictive unfree system in the world today. How free is a child who has been taught from birth that that their purpose in life is to strap a bomb on themselves and go out and kill themselves and murder as many innocent people as possible.

IMO there are millions of muslims who believe this kind of crap. What kind of religious system has death sentence for anyone who leaves islam for another religion? is this freedom?
