re: #55 SanFranciscoZionist
Islam is in the middle of a hideous time. I think of it as being roughly analagous to what Christianity went through in the sixteenth through early eighteenth centuries. I really hope it ends well. And soon.
I think there is a huge theological difference. The theological backing for the churches ill-behavior was relatively week, and thus susceptible to reformation.
The theological backing for current islamic behavior is much stronger. How do you reform that?
