You seem to be the tight lipped kind. Oh - those Brits :-) I haven't hence really been able to profile you....help me out here, will ya?Of course Islam can be reformed.

Good News - How?

What brutal texts?

Read just this thread and you'll find dozens of quotes and references to that fact

Most of them are influenced by the wahhabis in Saudi Arabia who teach hatred towards other people.

Guess - that makes me right in my rather harsh suggested strategy vs Saudi Arabia.

Off course they are condoned.

Tragic. No offense, but you come across as disillusioned or pessimistic to say the least.
What is your suggestion?
if you are indeed Muslim - what do you propose to counteract that?

They really do nothing about it. Since they are all influenced by the saudis.

See above - I'd like to know your ideas in order to change that.

because most of them are wahhabis.

So, if I understand you correctly, all it would take, is to take the Saudis out of the equation?
That seems to me a bit simplistic.

You've seen the perception of the Muslims here.
Do you agree with it?
According to a recent Cornell Study, 44% of the Americans currently promote restriction of rights for Muslims.
Assuming that in the UK it ain't too different, what do you propose to change that tragic trend from your end, if you are indeed Muslim, that is?

Assuming you are, how do you personally manage to practice your religion, yet be a "normal" citizen of the UK foremost?

Did you see the documentary about the Mosque in Birmingham - What is your stand about it?
Do you condone such teachings yourself, or do you have an idea as to what the UK must do in order to eliminate such breeding grounds for intolerance and hatred?

If you don't mind, a bit more detail would be very helpful to understand where you really are coming from.
