#1 A more moderate Islam would be good. Are they going to dump Sharia Law and the Quran? Are they going to clean out Wahhabism and Salafism?

Also They better check out some of the stuff in Western philosophy that passes as philosophy very carefully and with great deliberation--Just saying.

#3 Philosophy, at some point, exalts Human Reason. Islam the submission to the Will of Allah that can not be understood by humanity. Notice the problem here?

TL/DR: I think BP's #2 FeckAll^-1, pretty much summed it up admirably.
