Can Islam modernize and reinterpretation

Dear Vinodgupt,

Thank you very much for your convincing and nice comment. I agree with it totally.

> ... we, today in the 21st century,

We mustn't forget the Muslims are today still in the 15th century (the year 1426). It's perhaps this missing spacetime of 600 years that makes any communication with them so difficult and hopeless... Do you think that you could freely communicate with your greatgreatgreat....grandfather formed by the conditions of the War of the Roses?...How about a small conversation with some janissaries routinely training to crush another infidel crusade on the Danube and inspired by Quranic verses howled recently by their Sufi teachers?...

> Definitely "reinterpretation" by an infidel will never be accepted by any believer.

The more so as even a "reinterpretation" by a believer will be rather accepted by a wishful infidel than a true believer.
