Can Islam be Reformed? Poll!

[Petros Agapetos]

that depends on what your definition of 'reformed' means.

Let's say reform means revising the doctrines of jihad, martyrdom, and fighting infidels. Do you envision any Islamic reformation that purges these doctrines from Islam?

[Petros Agapetos]

Another possible way to reform Islam is to reject the literal understanding of the Qur'an which is foremost in Islam and has always been so.

There are some progressive advocates of reform inside the Islam like Amina Wadud, Sherin Khankan or Ajmal Masroor but the are too few and far between to gain any traction.

Have you heard of Zuhdi Jasser and Maajid Nawaz? They are reformers also. They are great moderate Muslims.
Maajid Nawaz is a good friend of Sam Harris'. A former rogue Islamist now turned progressive leftist reformer.
Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz have written a book together "Islam and The Future of Tolerance" in which they discuss Islamic reform.
I wish them success. But I am not going to kid myself into believing Islam will be reformed in my lifetime. This is a civilizational struggle lasting centuries upon centuries.

am muslim sunni , decent of jewish , my answer is if islam that comes in Qoran than NO cant be reformed and this islam allow things and forbid things ( punish for some stuffs and forgive for others ) so IS WISE .
but if islam who was made by blabla ( such from xxx who heard from yyy ..say that prophet did this and that which somes try make it sunna and fake words of prophet) this one not only reformed but vanished .
