Islam is not reformable

Islam is not reformable. No totalitarian system is reformable. Any bidʻah (innovation) is stricly forbidden in Islam. You remove one brick from the wall and the whole - totalitarian, therefore holistic - system collapses. Gorbatchev paid the price. You cannot feed the wolf and keep the goat whole (czech - my native country - proverb). To "reform" Islam and to keep it as "Islam" (to keep what exactly ?) A totalitarian system can only be thrown out, as a whole. Sooner or later.
