islam has not changed since it's inception. It's not going to change.
Intelligent species evolve and learn from "history". From what I've seen in the last few decades there's nothing intelligent about islam.
It's safe to say islam will not change in our life time.

Someone will read this "post" in 3009 and say the same thing about islam.

I agree we may never see change in our lifetime. It is going to take generational chage, that still doesn't mean change won't happen.
I disagree that Islam has not changed since its inception. It changed quite a bit even during the lifetime of Mohammad. Hence the distinctions between Hadiths. The ones towards the end of his life hold more bearing than those from the beginning of his "religous" life. Those towards the beginning are more acceptable of "people of the book" because Muslims at the time were a minority. Once he started his quest to rule, and Muslims became more of a majority is when you start to see the transistion to "killing all infidels". The changing times, caused him to change his viewpoints.
I respect your views as well as those others that think I have lost my mind. I have done quite a bit of studying of not only Islam as a religion, but Islam as a culture, as well as Islamic terrorism. That is where I draw my conclusions from. I respect that our views are different.
