Daily Poll: Will Islam Reform, Adapt, and Modernize in the Future?

Thursday June 22, 2006
It has been said that one of the problems with the Islamic community is that Islam hasn't experienced a Reformation or Enlightenment which would help constrain the power and attractiveness of fundamentalism. This isn't entirely true: there have been reform movements in Islam; their problem is that these movements occurred when Islam was weak and, therefore, attracted little interest.

 

Daily Poll: Do you have any hope that Islam will reform, adapt, and modernize in the future?

  1. Yes, and it hopefully won't take too long.
  2. Yes, but it will probably be quite distant in the future before it's complete.
  3. I'm hopeful, but not confident and not counting on it.
  4. No, not at all - individual Muslims may change, but Islam overall won't.
  5. I don't know.
  6. I don't care.
