Islam's Silent Majority
in response to reader comment: You need to check your history

Submitted by J Wade, Feb 9, 2008 14:10

I've often heard it said that Islam needs to undergo a Christian-like "Reformation" in order to make it peaceful; but Islam has already done so, and the Wahabbis are it's products. Like the Christian Protestants of the Christian Reformation, the Whabbists sought to rid themselves of the religious cloaking imposed on Islam by the Caliphates - the dying Ottoman Turks, especially. So, like the Christians, they had thier own reformation where they "got back to the Book" so-to-speak.

No...Islam is not been Hi-Jacked. Try reading the Koran sometime. It speaks for itself.
