REFORMING ISLAM

Chapter Surah Al-Ahzab [33]  covers several different topics related to the direct lives of the people surrounding the Prophet. It mostly speaks about Prophet's personal feelings that he could not express due to being shy, his relationship with a woman he liked, then the halt to his option to further women "even if he likes them". It speaks about war and different types of God's help for the believers. It also describes how women should prevent being molested. It jumps from a topic and comes back. It generally skips topics and brings in metaphorical descriptions of God's punishment randomly, or where necessary to quickly turns to different topics from the Prophet's personal life, his wishes, desires, and rules regarding his wives which are obviously good for him in this world, but only good for his wives in the hereafter. It starts with a metaphorical speech about the universal values of God. Then it moves to the personal topic important for Muhammad an

The new recruit initially needed some coaxing to punish an unmarried woman caught in a hotel room with a man. The article points out this morality crime in the region called Aceh, in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-majority country. The alleged criminals get a public whipping.  The new recruit didn't have the stomach to do it right away, but she pulled her self together and flogged the alleged criminal.

They also say it is not aimed to hurt people, but to shame them so they don't do

I read in the news that the terrorist who committed a crime in London over the weekend had just been released from prison. Governments have to rehabilitate terrorists from their mythology. The governments must ensure that the reformed minds know that God doesn't speak to them through their Imams. They currently believe so. It is on us to tell the people how nature works. God doesn't move pieces of the universe like in a video game. He doesn't ask his followers to kill others in his name. This is the same for all religions. Terrorists shouldn't have the freedom of their religion because their religion tells them to kill others. They believe they will go to Heaven and get virgins if they die in a battle. As long as they believe in Heaven, God, and Muhammad, it will always lead them back to terrorism. We need help from experts from Islam who also understand nature. Moderate imams can't work on rehabilitation, because they share the same sources with the te
