The YouTube algorithm threw this video my way just now and I decided to listen to the first few minutes. I ended up staying to the end because the presenter made an intriguing case for why Islam might reform itself into a much more moderate faith on its own primarily because of the Internet.

The presenter indicates that he was born into Islam but left the faith - as many others have - as a result of contact with other ideas on the internet.
I'm not completely sold on this notion yet by any means but I can't deny that it is attractive. I'd rather that Islamists came to see that their culture is in need of massive reform on their own rather than having to have that dawn on them as a result of losing more and more violent confrontations with non-Muslims.
