A reformation.

 

Many muslims nowadays have allowed more inserted modern thoughts into their ideology, allowing them to live peacefully with non-muslims without any issues. Unfortunately, there are still muslims who have a backwards way of thinking.

 

Solution? Stop telling people it isn't "real islam" and let the reformation finally begin. I see people who criticize those who want to reform, saying "that's not true islam", but they'll criticize people who preach "true islam". I mean, no offense, but don't expect to see Islam die for a long time. It also is tied with culture for many people. You can't expect Islam to magically disappear.

We're slowly going to a point where the 'extremists' are considered nuts and are shunned by most people. If we continue on this path and wipe out the dangerous ideas, then we'll be closer to less problems from religion. Christianity has done it, there's no reason Islam can't

 

Thoughts?

It doesnt seem that way. these extermist muslims are going to the same mosques and hearing from the same leaders. As long as they are willing to harbor these extremist nothing will change. Muslims themselves must identify, and remove extremeist from their own ranks, and they dont seem to be doing that in western society or in the middle east.
