It has to come from within Islam and those Muslims must, in fact, ignore or change their own doctrine.......throw out large elements of the Koran/Sira/Hadith and change their view/concept of Muhammad's actions as 'perfect' under any circumstance.
Fat chance.

You are absolutely correct, IF this is a static culture. I am questioning that view of Islam as static. Are we not seeing some evidence of changes in the culture today? Doesn't GR represent an example of a Muslim that does not take the tenets of Islam literally and inappropriate today? Didn't Christianity evolve from the days of the Inquisition? Couldn't Islam fracture into different sects just as Christianity did? As I asked earlier, are we missing an opportunity here to exploit and hasten a cultural change? If we continue to view this as a binary in black or white terms doesn't that create a no-win scenario?
Not too many things that I can think of are truly static and certainly not a culture of human beings.
