Re: What Would Reform Islam Look Like?
I do agree that religions should be updated to reflect human advancement - whether it is Islam Christianity Judaism or Hinduism (or anyother). Much of the strife in the world can be directly traced to the divisiveness casued by some who want to stick to the past and those who want to move on. Many feel 'updating' of religion is blasphemy or in some way, an affront to God, their rationale being "if I say God's work needs to be updated, then I am claiming to know better than God"....that is very wrong since the "I" in you was also created by God and so if you change/enhance/update, God is just acting through you. It is not an affront to God.
