I don't know of any other religion but I would like to argue that Islam needs to go back to it's roots and muslims need to realize what this religion is in the first place. This ultra-conservative hate filled and propaganda spewing class of muslims age new age modern varieties that did not exist in the past. I know we use modern positively most of the time but modern isn't always better. I would argue that modern muslims are way worse than classical muslims.

The problem with modern Muslims is that many of them haven't modernized like most religions have. Instead they have stuck to their roots of conquering other religions/nations, instead of trying to live in harmony with them. And when we do have those who speak out for change, they aren't held up as the examples they should be, while some make excuses for the actions of the more extreme elements within the religion.

You're making a contradiction here. Also the root of a muslim isn't conquest, it's a strong moral character that's so good, it makes people want to learn a=more about islam. Modern muslims don't learn about their religion, other religions or other people. They believe false scholars and whatever the hell they are told. They believe in propaganda against jews, the west and even other sects. They don't consult actual scholars of the religion but choose to believe false ones. Their hate is stronger than their love, their vengeance is stronger than their mercy, their pride stronger than their humanity and their ignorance stronger than their thirst for knowledge. Islam without mercy, empathy, humanity and knowledge is a hollow vessel which any lunatic can fill up with whatever they want. when you take away the core and fundamentals of a belief system, you can twist and turn that system into your own liking and when the people twisting and turning are horrible, selfish, hate-filled individuals, that's the image you will get. Their priorities are whack, their worship in vain and they are lost. Olden times and people of the past have things to teach us that are good and not just characters to be reprimanded and looked as for things not to do. This sort of modernization is destructive and repetitive. To truly be better we need to look back and look forward. Look at the good in history as well as the bad and the good in ourselves and the bad in us. We don't just need to blindly move forward and rediscover things that we could've learned from our ancestors over and over again. Having a short term memory is detrimental and people of old have already dealt with many things we find difficulty in dealing with and they can help us if we let them. Modernization for the sakek of it is just as bad in my opinion
