Sam Harris presented a good case here. I found his 'Islam is going through its 14th century' particularly resonant. And also that we didn't have 500 years to wait for them to work their way out of it. Nevertheless an Islamic Reformation does not look likely soon.
But is this true? What about Dubai and Bahrain, and the Emirates? They look sort of reformed to me. Money and corruption were instrumental in formenting the European Reformation, and I dare say money and corruption may yet save us from the menace of Islam.
