Islam, as it is practiced by a majority of muslims in the world, is a regressive force.

69. Worse: Islam has been devised as an regressive force extremely difficult to reform

The original text, the Quran, contains hundreds of verses which proclaim Muslim supremacism over non believers, admonishng believers to subjugate the inferior infidels. A programmatic religious 'racism' = Religionism?
And the system has been locked by the original guru by saying the text is from god and absolutely intangible.

Then come the hadiths or Sunnah. These books were written 200 years after the Quran by a handful of people who went to see people who were supposedly descended (after about 10 generations) of the people who knew Muhammad. To think that, filtered by the consensus opinion of ten successive generations, the words of these 'witnesses of the future' has even a minimal degree of reliability is a joke. If it were not enough, it's is reported the caliphs routinely paid the composers of these hadiths to post-justify their own beliefs and attitudes. But, believe it or not, this Sunnah ragtag bunch of grandmothers' gossip is revered by the Sunni (of the Sunnah) 90% majority of the Muslim world. And the Sunnah is a text surpassing the Quran in medieval brutality.

So we have two regressive texts, one violent, vague and irreformable, and the extremely violently medieval Sunnah which constitutes the cultural identity of the Sunni majority . Good luck reforming this poisoned chalice.
