And if a Western Islam realizes the reform that releases Wahabist shackles
An idea to curb the international threat of Islamist terrorism and its radical ferocity!

There are debates that even if we turn away from their path, they cross you and come face to face. Subjects reappear from the depths of souls, as if to refuse the stagnation, burial, and oblivion. Islam and secularism, Islam and modernity and still Islam and its tormented followers hypocrisies and lies that hide the equivocal contradiction between tradition and contemporaneity. A recurring subject but how much discussed that can provoke a lot of controversy.
Several institutions have been conducting reflections for years in order to enlighten and honor the reformist chatter of the religion prophesied by Mohamed. When a lot of violence takes the lead, what to trust? In the sense of the rescue of the generations adepts of the last divine revelation come for the humanity, the ideas abound. Such as that of " Islam of France " firmly adhering to democracy.
However, the break with obscurantism to offer the influence of scientific or sociological knowledge, to break through, is a quest for choice of a rational life that is proposed, or even accomplished, to young Muslims. Indeed, Muslims in the United States , like those in Europe, are connected to developed countries. These people can be considered learned elites with the means that are given to them to extract the discussions of the factual frameworks by the excesses.
Like, in the past, the believers of Andalusia, or the Abbasids who once had a strong civilization. Preceding the European renaissance that became "more widely" the rich Western culture, after the discovery of America, Arab-Muslim erudition promulgated, in his time, scientific discoveries and developed both medicine, mathematics and various other knowledge, having helped to make humanity present.
Muslims who live far from Mecca and away from the anxiety and unstable Arab world, deserve to be listened to. It owes them some status, different from the usual speeches. The Sheikhs and the "fouqaha" of the theology of the East could not produce peace, it is even the contrary the result of their sermons. What happened to the sectarian dichotomy between Sunnis, Shiites and other tendencies that eventually gave birth to a " fitna "? To let decadence take over is unacceptable.
In the United States exists a pluralist movement, animated by Muslims who try to distinguish themselves from Islamism and wish that the term "Islamophobia" does not apply to excess. " Islamophobia " is so overused that it allows obscurantism, which most Muslims suffer from its indecent terrorism, to take the minds of young and old.
The two main American poles that act for a reform of Islam are the AIFD(American Islamic Forum for Democracy) and the CIP (Center for Islamic Pluralism). The first is chaired by a doctor of Syrian origin called Zuhdi Jasser. Former lieutenant of command in the US Navy, he issued a statement regarding the withdrawal of the US military from Syria. It is actually this news that makes our opinion in this article.
And the second comes back to a communist of the pure Marxist-Leninist fabric. The CIP was founded in 2004 by Stephen Suleyman Schwartz , a Jewish family member who converted to Sufi Islam in 1997 and is its director. This former journalist of " Folks Magazine " and former editor of the San Francisco Chronicle , the influential title of the California press, founded in 1865, is also a writer and unionist of American sailors.
The Ibn-Rushd-Goethe Mosque is the only self-declared liberal mosque in Germany. Inaugurated in June 2017 and named after the medieval Andalusian-Arab polymath Ibn-Rushd and the German writer and statesman Johann Wolfgang von Goeth.
