DNM, you say: "Father Zakaria Botros would agree with you 100% but I also agree with Dr Pipes that it must be Muslims that would reject this nonsense"

It doesn't look like there will be any reform coming from within Muslims themselves. It hasn't come in the last 1400 years and reform coming now has no chance. The reason is the imams who keep a tight rein on Muslim masses under threats and intimidation. Muslims are not allowed to think for themselves as Mo/allah has done all thinking for them, so they are not allowed to judge their own actions while following their religion. For them beheading is holy if done following religious orders - just don't question it and do it. A normal human being will abhor killing some body. Period!! Are Muslims horrified at the prospect killing anybody in the name of religion or any other pretext? Doesn't look like or they would not be doing what they have done for last 1400 years. Everything is justified in the name of Islam!!!

Only the non-Muslim world can force Islam to change if they unite to fight this eveil. Of course it would take all our resources, force included, to achieve that. By themselves Muslims can't and won't change or reform for they cannot disobey Mo/allah or they would not remain a Muslim!!!
