Religion plays a major role in any human conflict.
It is an undeniable fact that religious reforms have never been accomplished successfully in Islam and therefore it remains as a medieval religion.
Unlike other religions, which have ėtheological beliefs' and ėsociological beliefs' as separate entities, Islam has never learned to look at it
differently. Thus, Islam remains a fundamentalist religion, which denies integration with people of other faiths. Through the ages, those who tried to
reform or call for change to orthodox Islam have been killed as heretics or infidels. Thus it is felt that the sociological dictates of orthodox
Islam, in many ways, are still mired in medieval thinking and dogmatic backwardness and are comparable to the days of pre-Reformation Christianity.
Those were the days of the Dark Ages.
