Reforming Islam does not mean just fighting terrorism; but repealing all those rulings that violate the fundamental rights of human beings. The Quran is the main source of all kind of violations. Islam means submission, not peace. A Muslim is subjugated to Allah and in order to enter the paradise he must follow the Quranic commandments. Freedom is just an abstract concept. In fact freedom in Islamic terms means being subjected to Allah’s commands. What we consider freedom for a Muslim is libertinage. For a Muslims religious freedom means that people are free to submit to Islam and give up all their personal freedoms. But this is a one way road. Once they become Muslims, they can’t leave Islam. He is free to express his  thought, as long as  he doesn’t  speaks against Islam, Muhammad, the Quran, the Islamic  Government or the Shaira.  

In our countries, if a non-Muslim criticizes Muhammad or the Quran, he would be accused of racism, religious intolerance and even sued by the same “moderate Muslims”. Therefore, a Muslim living in the west is not “moderate”; he is simply adapting himself so he is not expelled.   

A clear example of Muslims’ double standard comes from the “Universal Islamic Declaration Of Human Rights” This Declaration is not based on Human Rights at all, but rather it is based on the Quran and Muhammad’s traditions. The so called “Moderate Muslims” who live in the west, agree with that completely.  

“Moderate Islam” is a just a western dream to reform Islam and its theocratic system so it could coexist with the Western values and the Muslims could integrate with the rest. It is an aspiration to combat terrorism and to  avert the  threat that Islam poses on an international level. But Muslims do not see such need at all and do not share this dream. It doesn’t necessarily mean that all the Muslims wish to become “martyrs” or to Islamise the west. It means that their thought is structured in a way that they do not justify these objectives nor they see any need for that.   

Whoever doesn’t believe in the Jihad; doesn’t support “The Mother of all causes”. For example if a Palestinian doesn’t believe in the Quran, he is an apostate, a kafir, a traitor of the Umma.   

Secularization and Islam are two incompatible and opposite concepts.  If a Muslim considers himself “moderate”, then he/she is no more a Muslim. If he considers himself to be a true Muslim, then he must reject modernization and abandon any thought about reforms.  

We, in our own lack of understanding of Islam, expect an immediate reform, an immediate refusal of all Islamic teachings by Muslims. We wish all Islamic states follow the example of Turkey . That is nothing but wishful thinking and it is indicative of how little we know about Islam. It is not Islam that should undergo reform. Islam can’t be reformed. If it is reformed then it is no more Islam. It is the Muslims that should reform. They must reform their thoughts, their values and their priorities. We want to modernize Islam, while they wish to Islamize modernity, to convert our thoughts, our way of life and our societies into their way.  

Today they march for Palestine, for the right to wear veils, to build mosques; tomorrow they will declare that they will not obey the law of the land if it is contrary to the Shari’a, then they will ask to have Islamic courts and Muslims judges as this is already happening in Canada. Later on, they will flood the parliaments with Muslims MPs and will form Islamic political parties. Then, who will be able to talk about “moderate Islam” anymore?
