"I understand what you are saying. However, we infidels cannot fix islam. Only Muslims can fix Islam. But you know what? islam cannot be fixed as long as Muslims see all of the Qur'an as the real word and wish of Allah uncreated and unchanged, good for all times and all places."

"And is there such a thing as a moderate Muslims? No there is no such a thing."

"And you know what? One of the major fault lines of Islam is that we do not have a central authority that we can talk to."

"I happen to believe that the worst enemy of Islam is islam! Islam claims to be a religion and a political system not unlike communism another religion that was also defeated. Political Islam does not deliver and this will be the reason that will bring islam down."

"...Notice that this is the time that Muslims want to emulate!..."

"The way I see it, the only way to solve the Muslim problem is to let them kill each other and limit immigration of Muslims to the west, bug Mosques and deport any Imam who preaches hate or violence."

I agree only Muslims can fix Islam. Where infidels can help is in showing up the Koran for what it is. A hodge-podge of mostly incomprehensible verses which make some sense only when the context is known. That task has been made easier with the advent of the Internet.

We can also easily show that the unchanging word kept changing in the Koran itself and that the insistence on context by their scholars is an unassailable argument for it not being good for all times and places.
