Hasn't Islam already changed through the centuries? It seems it has, and currently for the worse. It seems when the Spanish Inquisition was occurring, Saladin offered sanctuary to the Jews. That wouldn't happen today. In some ways it was more moderate in days past, at least by the standards of todays Islamists. Of course, Saladin was a Kurd, not an Arab. I believe it was in the book "Knowing your Enemy" the author made the point that radicalism comes and goes in Islam. The trends are measured in decades though, not years. With all the WMDs it would seem we don't have decades to wait.
