Actually, there is a way that Islam allows for growth in its religion. It's a formal system called "abrogation". Islam allows its Imam, the religious body headed by senior clerics recognized by Islamic governments, to issue fatwas and other religious edicts and writings that in some way clarify's the holy Islamic texts such as the Quran and the Hadiths. In this way, the Islamic religion is allowed to grow with changing times. Abrogation is in essence a negation of what comes before with a replacement based on new understanding. It works very much the same way the Catholic church works. They continually try to update the religion based on the growth of society. It's still slow moving, but at least the Catholic church has grown. Unfortunately, the world of Islam is devoid of scholars that know anything of the wolrd. Instead its full of uneducated people who know only the Quran, which is the oldest and most sacred text coming from Mohammed. So these moronic clerics use the Quran to preach their hate instead of educating themselves on the new necessities of today's world and the other moderate Islamic teachings that have been written about. The religion has stagnated precisely because Muslim culture has stagnated.
