Muslim "reformers" struggling

These "reformers" are struggling because they are rejected by the vast majority of the larger Muslim community - even Jasser has admitted this. Consequently they have to appeal to non-Muslims to have any support and/or relevance. So what are the prospects for "reforming" a religion by appealing for assistance from folks who don't even belong to that religion? About zero. How would the Reformation have come out if Martin Luther had to rely mainly on Muslims for his support?

Jasser, Raza, and the rest are a distraction from understanding the Islam found in the Koran and taught by Muhammad. This is the Islam followed, to varying degrees, by most of the world's Muslims, and we need to understand it, not the variations of Fantasy Islam.
