What you are really saying is that islam can only be reformed by muslims. I kind of believe you are right on that point. For that to happen with tyrants & terrorism removed and modernity accepted, folks like you will have to lead the way. If the average muslim doesnt stand up to this, we will have more terror MDs, more backward states, and more hopelessness on an ever increasing scale. Get to work then Gem if you dont want guys like Geoff telling you what to do. And you do work at it, i know. We need many more like you.

when those systems are headed down a bad path, changing them at the foundation is advisable. You are wrong. You can only change the religion if you assume it is a faulty design. If you are suggesting to me that Radical Islam can't be reformed then I disagree completely and ask you to show me a religion that's never been reformed and I'll show you one that's dieing or dead. If, on the other hand, you were relating to reform being pushed on RI from an outside source. I agree, the only way for a religion to reform is internally. If Islam had a different interpretation of the word "jihad" do you think AQ would have the same recruitment results?
