Islam Can't Be Reformed and Still Exist!

Time to Reform Islam, James Arlandson

Islamic law must be reformed. But will we see it in our lifetime? Can any part of Islamic law be reformed?Not all of it, but let's see if we can open a dialogue. My only platform or right to speak is that I spent endless hours from 2004-2007 studying and writing about Islam. I felt it was my duty to write critically about its unpleasant aspects because back then hardly anyone knew about them. Then I updated my sharia articles in 2012, culminating in a long summary.  I'm not going back to writing about this religion, but with the terrorist attacks on 11/13 in Paris, I would like to offer a possible path for reform.  Are there any Muslims who have the courage? Are they teachable?....

The Logic of Islamic Intolerance, Raymond Ibrahim

 

Why Western secular relativists and multiculturalists -- who currently dominate media, academia, and politics -- are incapable of understanding, much less responding to, the logic of Islamic intolerance - A sermon delivered by popular Saudi Sheikh Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid clearly demonstrates why Western secular relativists and multiculturalists -- who currently dominate media, academia, and politics -- are incapable of understanding, much less responding to, the logic of Islamic intolerance.  During his sermon, al-Munajjid said that “some [Muslim] hypocrites” wonder why it is that “we [Muslims] don’t permit them [Western people] to build churches, even though they allow mosques to be built.” The Saudi sheikh responded by saying that any Muslim who thinks this way is “ignorant”….. Do you want another other than Allah to be worshiped”….. although “intolerant” from a Western perspective, it is, in fact, quite logically consistent and reveals the wide gap between Islamic rationalism and Western fantasy (despite how oxymoronic this dichotomy might sound)…… From an Islamic paradigm -- where Allah is the true god and Muhammad his final messenger -- “intolerance” for other religions is logical and difficult to condemn…… And no matter how violent, Islamic jihad -- terrorism -- will always be exonerated in Muslim eyes as fundamentally “altruistic.” On the other hand, Western secularists and multiculturalists, who believe in nothing and deem all cultures and religions equal, will continue to respect Islam and empower Muslims, convinced that terrorism is an un-Islamic aberration destined to go away -- that is, they will continue disbelieving their own eyes. Such is the offspring of that unholy union between Islamic logic and Western fallacy.......
