What's between Islam and modern Islam

   Islam, like other religions is a local idea created for a specific time and place and according to environment's conditions.

The necessity to 'modernize' Islam and re-consider its tools and laws "Sharia", making it more fit to the spirit of the age has been observed by many Muslim scholars (such as Ibn Rushd, known in Spanish "Averroes", the Andalucian muslim philosopher who called for measuring the things with the mind and reasoning. One of his famous quotes say that " God can't give us laws or religions and in same time give us minds that cant reason them".). 

 In the nineteenth century and following the effect of the industrial revolution and science explorations along with the cultural and visions exchanges between Arabic countries and civilized Europe stimulated the minds and created doubts about the holiness of  "Sharia", Islam laws inspired by Quran and Hadith or some of Islamic laws and ideas. Like women and non muslims situation and rights or meaning of Jihad or a very important topic in its time like the crisis of finding new "Khalifa" after "M. Kemal. Ataturk" ended the theodratic regime of the Ottoman Empire. Khalifa is the Muslims ruller who's considered the representer of Allah and recommended by Sharia as an Islamic rule.

 However, the attempts for creating a moderate Islam is most likely rejected by the leaders and the majority of Muslims since they believe that Islam is holy and untouchable. Any reform of its laws is forbidden or never taken seriously. Usually, they oppress these who try to revive their religion and accusing them of infidelity and blasphemy. Ibn Rushed's been considered a heretic and his works are still suspected by the public while others has been banished like "Nasr Hamed Abu Zaid" or even been killed like "Farag Fouda".

 The popularity of these cases was accompanied by the rise of the modern Islamic extremism and the terrorist attacks/ Jihad and the new-born world system, open and globalized unvieled a new different kinds of Muslim who liked to label themselves as "Moderate Muslims", with more tolernat and open opinions. Like the artistic graffettis in Cairo streets, more fashionable lables are born by day; Liberal Muslim, secular muslim or even communist Muslim.

 They're rejecting the violence and the extremism. Ironically, they blame the extremists and the Muslim fundamentalists for distortion of the real beautiful emssage of Islam and being so radical yet, they give them "repect of parents". Their "Modern/moderate Islam" is like a way to defend Islam and save it before its extinction for incompetence. They argue that Islam is moderate and a natural gentleman. Can be easily moderenized but much twist is used.

 Seems that the coninuous fight between the Traditional Islam apologists and the Modernity propagatos is a fight that won't come to an end. Propably it was a beginning for a decline of Islam itself and religions in general.

 This explains the rising and invisible numbers of atheism in Egypt, more than 2 millions estimated.  

ore doubts about whether Islam is suitable to continue or even if its presence is necessary.
