Wanted: A Muslim, Reformation.That's absolutely correct. By way of analogy: the Christian Bible, particularly the Old Testament, includes a lot of historical tribal customs which, while accepted practice at the time, will get you a well deserved 25 to life if you try to practice them today. About 500 years ago we entered a period we call the Enlightenment where thinkers examined the old writings and tried to separate the tribal customs from the spiritual guidance.
Islam, particularly in the Middle East, is badly in need of such a reformation.

The wonderful Zuhdi Jasser is basically an Outcast from the American Islamic community. As are all true reformers.Here in the US we do have moderate Muslims, and I have been particularly impressed by Zuhdi Jasser whenever I've seen him interviewed. And as you noted, the violent extremists cannot be ignored.
