In this superb and wide-ranging interview, Jihad Watch writer and Frontpage Associate Editor Christine Douglass-Williams explains what the new Muslim members of the House of Representatives are really telling us with their hateful rhetoric. Christine also provides a thoughtful discussion of the question of whether or not Islam can be modernized and reformed, which is the central theme of her book, The Challenge of Modernizing Islam: Reformers Speak Out and the Obstacles They Face.

The question to ask is, can Islam even produce its own version of “Martin Luther”?
carpediadem says
It did. Martin Luther was the revolting Christian who wanted the Jews to join his precious reformed religion and when they said no,. was as brutal as Mohammed. His books recommending persecution and genocide of Jews were models for the Nazis’ conduct to them later, including burning synagogues..
Martin Luther was genocidal filth, as immature and awful as Mohammed.
FYI says
Can islam even produce its own version of Martin Luther.. King?
Unlikely.
In islam, satan is a Black man{ibn ishaq pg 243 according to Nabtal ibn al harith}
The worst insult of muhammed is to say he was Black{Ash Shifa}
“Whoever says the prophet was black is killed.The prophet was not black”
In k 3:106 “for those whose faces will be Blackened,it will be said unto them
Disbelieved ye after your profession of belief?Then taste the punishment for that ye disbelieved”
Wow
islam seems to be quite racist…..let’s not forget the Jews being called terrible names k2:65..
Raymond says
The Christian Reformation was a reaction to problems which arose in an institution, it was not a refutation of the teachings of Christianity’s founder, Jesus. The same is not true of islam. A reformation of islam is quite impossible, it would require the refutation of the teachings of it’s founder Mohamed. It is those teachings which are the problem.
We also must clearly discern the differences which distinguish a religion from a cult. A system which commands membership under pain of death is a cult.

Ilhan Omar is a Somali Islamist who believes in Sharee’a law like violent and non-violent jihadist activism, discrimination against non-muslims, stoning people and the public beheadings of the kuffar! The question is who elected her into the US congress?
SteveinSC says
Obviously, the Muslim/Leftist majority in her district.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
The newly elected Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are “Constitutional Salafists” who want to restore the Constitution to its previous, purer state, before it was corrupted by the post-Civil War Radical Republicans who with the Thirteenth Amendment outlawed the traditional Islamic institution of slavery,and with the Fourteenth Amendment gave kafirs the same legal status as Muslims. How can you run a proper caliphate with a legal system like that?
And in reform of the criminal code, Representatives Omar and Tlaib need to restore the originalist penal regime alluded to in the Fifth Amendment, which says, “… nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb”. Nowadays the emphasis in Fifth Amendment jurisprudence is on the prohibition of double jeopardy, but the emphasis should instead be on the proper punishments for offences against the Islamic state, which should entail loss of life (beheading) or loss of limb (double amputation), as in the penalties set forth in Quran 5:33, namely, “The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land.”
When the Revolution comes, in making the constitution sharia-compatible, Omar, Tlaib, and their congressional colleagues (along with legislatures of 3/4 of the States) will have to repeal the abominable Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, but the limb-severing Fifth Amendment can remain as is.
Walter Sieruk says
Those Muslim politicians Omar and Tlaib being so very anti-Jewish and anti-Israel must also be, in hidden essence, very anti-American .As the former US President ,William Howard Taft, had so wisely declared in a speech “:Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”
Furthermore,as for the specific case of Rashida Tlaib by her using such a foul terms as she did by calling the President “m….. f…..” had exposed what a very low class and totally unsophisticated as well as unintelligent woman she actually is. For a person with any class , sophistication and intelligence might strongly dislike someone but wouldn’t use such vulgarity of language as Tlaib did. She by speaking in that absence low class way has also thrown shame on the office her holds in the US government Could be that Tlaib may be trying to shows herself unfit for the office she now holds ?
Hilly says
It should also be noted that Tlaib initially said the MF-er remark to her own nine-year-old son!
“And when your son looks at you and says, ‘Momma, look, you won. Bullies don’t win.’ And I said, ‘Baby, they don’t. Because we’re going to go in there and we’re going to impeach the m****rf****r.”

Just purchased her new book. Looking forward to it. Interviews with people attempting to reform and modernize Islam, and the difficulties they face. Thank God (or, if you are an atheist, the godless foundation of things) for Douglass-Williams.
somehistory says
To “reform” islam, is impossible, since there is not a micro amount of anything good in it, all of it would have to be destroyed. Why try to “reform” something so evil, so corrupt in its teaching, in its commands, evil in its source?
If someone has a chunk of food and it has blowflies lighting on it, a stench unmentionable arising from its surface, and all who look upon it with open and understanding eyes have to vomit their insides out, nothing can be done but to bury it deep.
Nothing can be done to “reform” satan’s beast. First of all, he will not allow it. Second, there is nothing good that could be the foundation for a “reform.”

Audio: Christine Douglass-Williams on “the threat of Omar and Tlaib”
…………………..
Yes–they are a threat to all of us.
Ronyvo says
Okay Christine, you said Islam is NOT a religion of peace, I agree so any one who read the Koran. However, you said Islam could be reformed, I disagree entirely. First, what do you mean by ‘reformed’? Second, to reform the religion, which by the way in my opinion Islam is NOT a religion, without reforming the Koran is simply impossible.
Do you think that Muslims would accept ANY changes to their ‘holy’ book? I don’t think so.
Once any attempt to reform, modify or edit this horrible book Islam would be ceased to exist. Well, this would be a relief and peace would be possible around the world.
