I think that it will be a challenege to get a reformation of Islam. They believe that the koran is the “actual” word of god that cannot be translated. I am not saying it is impossible but a fundemantal change will be needed. The basic premise of christianity is still love. With Islam I am not so sure. Not being fascist or anything. Just saying it will be a long, hard bloody road

That brings up a thought I had recently. It may be stupid but here goes.
1. The Koran is the literal “word of God” and it may not be changed in any way.
2. It was written in archaic Arabic. That language has not been used for 200+ years.
3. The Koran is now written in modern standard Arabic.

So, how the heck do they know if they didn’t make any “typos” or mistranslations over the years of language changes? And if so, is it now really the unchangeable word of god?
