Fake wars and Fake movements


This is exactly what the reformallah("reformist") in Iran is doing. Fighting the hardliners without fighting the ideology that drives them. Islam is the religion that was formalized by interpretation of the Koran and the traditions of Muhammad into the Islamic law in the eighth and ninth centuries. The Islamic law IS Islam, and it hasn't changed in any essentials since then. For reformer's Peaceful Islam to come into existence, actual Islam, defined by the sharia, would have to be dismantled. Why aren't millions of moderate muslims outraged about the recent stoning in Iran?
Thanks to Nana for the inspiration.

So true! Many seem to want to overlook the root of the whole problem!
