Christianity was much like Islam in the early days, cruel, sadistic (the inquisition, stoning women to death).
Islam had a few extras, women with bags over their head, all body coverings, not the men of course.
Christianity at least jettisoned the bloodthirstier aspects, except for child abuse. So why can't Islamists? If they don't want to why not?
I am surprised falah has not pointed out the jews might have invented stoning to death.
Allah claims Islam has been perfected in sura 5;3 so why would they want to reform something they think is perfect?
Would it be considered blasphemy to even suggest Islam needs reforming considering Allah said it has been perfected,they have the death penalty for blasphemy could this be an impediment to any reforms?
http://quran.com/5/3Muslims cannot pick and choose which parts to follow, this is where Islam differs from christianity.
The Quran is very clear that you will be off to the hellfire for disbelieving in part of the scripture with sura 2;85 it is a package deal you have to believe in the whole package if you want those virgins and the everlasting erection in paradise.
http://quran.com/2/85The death for blasphemy protects the Islamic meme from corruption.
The Ahmadi muslims did a few reforms and they are persecuted everywhere by mainstream Islam, In Pakistan where they originated they cannot call themselves muslims and can be jailed for outraging the religious beliefs of muslims the first muslim to win a nobel prize in science was Abdus Salam who worked on Pakistan's nuclear program, Abdus was an Ahmadi muslim so they have removed the word "muslim" from his grave.
There were a few Ahmadi muslims killed by muslims last year in Indonesia.
The Ahmadi are considered as deviant heretics for the reforms they have done.
The persecution of Ahmadi muslims by mainstream Islam proves there is no desire for mainstream Islam to reform,I reckon porcine animals could become aerodynamic before Islam reforms.
