Contemporaries often scoff at the idea that Islam today can reform towards liberal secularism. That’s because they’re unaware that right up until the 1980s Soviet-Afghan war, this is the how things were headed. Nasser was perhaps the most popular leader in modern Arab historyhttps://twitter.com/BeforeSharia/status/999559641653800960 …
I don’t think the doctrine of Islam will ever change. The Quran is memorized by millions of children precisely to ensure that that never happens. But I do think Muslims will overwhelmingly choose to not follow their religion so literally- if given the chance.
Of course if the doctrines exist there is always a chance that some will gravitate towards the literal interpretations...but honestly? It’s a miserable existence. Especially for women. If given freedom of thought/secularism, I think most will choose not to follow literally.
And luckily the overwhelming majority of children memorizing the Quran have no clue what they’re saying 
True. This is true for all religions. With no correction mechanism, they are frozen in time. Religions cannot evolve. It is the humanity and cultures which evolve. Whatever potential of a religion for violence or peace, will remain so even for next thousand years.
The Vision of Christ that thou dost See Is my Visions Greatest Enemy … Both read the Bible day & night But thou readst black where I read White.
Children take things literally so memorizing texts is affecting them. Psychology better understands how our formative years can cause lifelong damage.
That was before billions of Saudi preto dollars started to push Wahhabism around the world. Another problem is that by definition the Codan is not meant to be interpreted - Islam has scholars, but no clergy. So yes, it would boil down to individuals
Well, Irshad Manji and those like her did create an alternate Quran some years ago. Never stuck. But yeah. We have history of moderates being majority before. Don't see why not again if terrorist orgs are defunded and ousted.
And we literally have young boys in Pakistan cutting off their own hands...so yeah :|
They don’t memorize the quran the memorize what the so called scholars say as if it was the quran
