its time for the islamic reformation to begin . islam has to come out of its tribal roots and join the modern world like other religions have done . no modern person is prepared to accept tribal religious systems such as islam any longer.
am i right?

Worship is an individual thing. Different people believe different things. The Crusades were all about forcing people into Christianity. How would you like it if suddenly everyone had to be Baptist? If you're not of that belief system, you would be upset over it. Respect is the key. Islam is a faith that has been around for centuries just like Judaism. We cannot force people into believing the way that we do. Learn to respect their right to worship as they choose. We don't need another Holocaust!
Christ said, when asked what the most important commandment was, "Love the Lord thy God...and the second is like unto it, love thy neighbor as thyself." The Muslims are our "neighbors" and we have been commanded to love them. And with love comes compassion and respect.

You are wrong on so many levels its pathetic. I'm a "modern" person and i accepted Islam 2 years ago. Islam is not a tribal religion its Gods religion. Muslims do no need to change anything, for what and for who?
You are wrong................
But you are however spot on about your name, very apt.

Every follower have to change in their attitude, towards fellow human beings.
Why talk of Muslims alone take the follower of Christianity. The have plundered India till about 60 years ago. They divided the country manifolds to their benefit.
How Bush Blair & others bombarded Muslim Countries like Iraq.
Even the so called advanced people are just a tribals and sometimes their behaviour is worse than a tribal.

No, you're not right. You're uninformed.
Islamic countries were peaceful until the 1950s, even when the UK and others were trying to control them and their oil in the early 20th century. Violence by muslims didn't start until the level of violence the "allies" used against Germany was then used against muslim nations. And the anti-jew sentiment among muslim nations didn't start until the Palestinians were forcibly removed from their homes and the Israelis began the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians.
"Western" countries are using the same lousy argument against muslim countries that they used against African nations to rationalize invasions ("They're ignorant and can't run their own countries").
If muslims can't run democracies as the lie is told, then explain why Iran HAD a democracy for decades BEFORE the US and UK helped the Shah _overthrow_ and _destroy_ the Iranian democracy in 1953.
They helped to destroy Iran's democracy because they wouldn't sell oil cheaply. Nothing ever changes.

DH, what are they supposed to change into? And what right have we to insist on anyone "changing" for our benefit?
