Unfortunately, Islam cannot be reformed. Mohammed made sure of that. Islamic teachings are absolute and cannot be challenged or questioned, as is typical of cults. It isn't possible to change anything in it.
In Islam, there are only two experts: the demon-god Allah, and Mohammed. Muslims believe that the words of their demon-god weren't created, they just exist unto themselves in perpetuity, on a giant Koran in Muslim heaven (Sahih Bukhari 54:414). Even if you change the words of the Koran here on Earth, the Koran in Muslim heaven remains unaltered. The Koran is therefore unchangeable.
In fact, the Koran itself repeatedly says it's unalterable:
And the word of your lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can change his words. Koran 6:115
And recite what has been revealed to you [Mohammed] of the book [Koran] of your lord. None can change his words, and none will you find as a refuge other than him. Koran 18:27
Every word of the Koran, and every word and deed of Mohammed are perfect, complete, and eternal. They are for all people and all eras. Islam cannot be reformed. Once you change something in Islam it is no longer Islamic. You would have simply created a new cult.
Don't underestimate people creativity. Where there is the will there is the reinterpretation. Same for the Koran, The Constitution, The Bible and any other text.
Just another episode in a thousand years clash between two civilization. One that went through reform and enlightenment and one that hasn't.
And cannot, and never will.
Never say never. Probably not in this century but we must remember were times that the muslim civilization was more enlighten than the christian.
