“Modern Islam Is Already Impossible”

“You can not reform a religion. If they are reformed, [the original meaning] is separated from it. Therefore, modern Muslims and a modern Islam is already impossible. If there is no separation between religion and state, there will be no democracy especially without equality for women. Then we will keep a theocratic system. So it will end.” – Adonis Asbar, Syrian poet
We would do well to heed the words of Adonis Asbar, who, as quoted above, presciently warns us that there will be no reformation movement for Islam. “Therefore, modern Muslims and modern Islam is already impossible.” Yet the West chooses, imprudently and at our peril, to ignore this glaring reality. We prefer to equate Islam with Judaism and Christianity, as though the scourge of modern man is not Islamic terrorism and the perpetrators are not Muslims; as though Islam did not create the Islamic terrorist; and as though that baseless hatred of the Jew and the State of Israel is not a religiously motivated exhortation of the Quran. We go on pretending that Muslim demands for Western society to retrofit our traditions in order to accord with the religious whims of a seventh century psychopath are not the blatant manifestations of Islamic imperialism. In the same way that we hold a rock concert to celebrate the birthday of Nelson Mandela, a man who, as Lee Jenkins wrote in the Backbencher, “pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilizing terrorist bombing campaigns,” we can also become sophisticated about the brutal and bloody history of Islam and the fact that it really is an insalubrious faith unfit for human beings. Unintelligible to so many of us, and only because we refuse to acknowledge the decline, Western democracy is deteriorating, just as Plato said it would: “Democracy passes into despotism.”
