Islam *Is* Being Reformed
Raymond Ibrahim writes at PJMedia:
Synonyms of "reform" include "make better," "ameliorate," and "improve" -- splendid words all, yet words all subjective and loaded with Western references.Muslim notions of "improving" society may include purging it of "infidels" and their corrupt ways; or segregating men and women, keeping the latter under wraps or quarantined at home; or executing apostates, who are seen as traitorous agitators.
Banning many forms of freedoms taken for granted in the West -- from alcohol consumption to religious and gender equality -- can be deemed an "improvement" and a "betterment" of society.
That's "scary," right?
"Totally."

Yes they are re-forming. They are trying to re-form their society (and ours) back to the sixth century standards.

Since Mr Raymond is anyway not a muslim, I think he should have excercised his freedom and changed his second name to Abraham(which is probably the origin of the name Ibrahim). It gets kind of misleading to understand who is talking about things with that kind of a name especially considering that mr Raymonds speciality is taqiyya...one tends to think that he himself is indulging in taqiyya when he keeps his second name as it is.
