Nonsense... Islam doesnt change according to the times. This is contrary to its spirit. Islam is only ”pure” when it remains in Parrallel to the model of Medinan Society in the time of The Messenger of God. And Muslims see Medinan Society, regardless of how non muslims percieve it, as the Ultimate civil society built on Truth, Justice and Piety. A Model that was left for mankind as an example (and it was intented to be an example for all times by The One Above The Seven Heavens who revealed it) and more importantly, a model that will return, and will become a global phenominan ”again”, at least with the arrival of Jesus Son Of Mary again. Islam hence doesnt change, and wont change. The Qur’an is God Word - Period! How can anyone change and tamper with Gods word? The Jews did, and so did the christians, but what did it bring them except the pleasure of Satan and the Wrath of The Most Blessed Almight God? And what will their faces be like on The Day Of Judgement, Also known as The Day of Repayment? Islam doesnt change according to the times! It is Gods Law which will stay intact! Without it mankind has no direction. If God States that Homosexuality is an accursed and degrading act, this cannot be changed to suit a Godless generation of Homosexuals! Regardless of the number, or the positions they may hold in a society! If God states that adultury and fornication are crimes, they will stay crimes always, regardless of the amount of people indulging in it! In the same way, Gods Law cannot be picked and chosen. This is contrary to the Spirit of ”We Hear and We Obey” For the countless blessings the God has given us and continues to do so, blessings such that if you were to convert all the trees in the world into pens, and all the seas into ink, and then bring this amount again seven times over, you still wouldnt be able to list the blessings, for those blessings, and for everything good that you have in your life, God isnt asking much! Only that you... ”Hear and Obey”
What do you mean by ’Islam’?

If you mean ’the official doctrines of the major denominations of Islamic faiths’, then I do not think that most of these things will happen.

But compare the way that Western society has changed over five hundred years - at one time the various churches held enormous legal and real power over everyday life. Now Christian churches have little or no state power, only social pressure in an individualistic society.

This did not change because the Catholic Church reformed itself. Over centuries, people learned to decide how to take control over their personal lives, instead of letting priests tell them how to live.

The Christian churches stopped change when they could, and learned to deal with it when they could not stop it. But their actual written doctrines have changed very little.

What will the people of Muslim societies decide to do? If all good Muslims decide, for instance, that honour killings are evil and must stop, then who shall stand against them? No-one, no matter what the priests say.
