Islam is being reformed, and the result is called ISIS

Ayaan Hirsi Ali seems to be a brilliant and admirably courageous woman, risking her life daily to challenge the idiotically fanciful notion of Islam being a "Religion of Peace", a concept only achievable in the perfect vacuum of a liberal mind.

I am surprised that Ali might characterize the Qu'ran as "just a book", when the basic tenet of Islam holds that it is actually a true copy of a document written by Allah, the original copy being kept in heaven, out of the reach of human revision. Hence, no man has the power or ability to alter it, and unlike the Judeo-Christian bible, it is not human words inspired by God, but is the actual words of their god, Allah.

Muslim apologists cleverly quote the gentle and charitable words of the Meccan portion of the Qu'ran to dupe eager western minds with words of charity and peace, while duplicitously failing to mention that most of these words of peace were "abrogated" by later verses of the Medinan Qu'ran, replaced with commands to make war on and to destroy the infidels, and to oppress Christians and Jews ("apes and pigs") to force their submission to Allah's followers.

We Westerners eagerly pray for the "reformation" of Islam, dreaming of a transformation into a warm and loving community. The Christian Reformation was a revolt against the secularization of the Church, the sale of indulgences, and politicization of the clergy, with a demand for a return to the primary role of the scriptures. Analogously, the Islamic Reformation is vigorously underway already, and the result is the devout and scrupulously observant organization that we know as ISIS.
