Dr Pipes

Islam cannot be reformed because as long as we have the doctrine of al-nasikh wa an mansukh and ayat al-sayf (Q9:5) that abrogates the likes of the no compulsion in religion and the likes of ayat al-jizya or Q9:29 there is no way that Islam can be reformed

We either have Islam or no islam because there is just no happy mediium

I really do believe that islam will be a thing of the past in no time just like communism because it is anti-human and anti-reason
