"The truth is that Western civilization is rotten through and through and only continues because of the absence of its rightful heirs, namely the Muslims, who have themselves forgotten their deen [religion] and failed to take their divinely appointed task of re-establishing Allah's guidance for the whole of mankind." -- Muhammad al-Ghazali, Journey Through the Qur'an: The Content and Context of the Suras, Dar al-Taqwa, 1998, p. 47.
Muhammad al-Ghazali is considered to be a 'reformist' by Muslim scholars. If that is their idea of improving or correcting Islam, 'Western civilization' had better wake up and smell the coffee.
