The Kübler-Ross Model

I'm not an expert of the model of the 5 stages of dying but I do recognize the cult of Islam is dying. Some of the believers having now lived in a free society in the West have come to realize the problem with Islam is not only fanaticism and radicalism but the true sickness lies with mainstream Islam. It is a sickness and it is dying. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Some believe the system can and must be reformed. Those that do believe this know the illness is terminal. They are past the stage of denial and transitioning from anger to the bargaining stage of the model. Removing infected vital organs from the body seems hopeful and even noble but the infection has spread and the patient still dies. The illness is far beyond what the reformers recognize, it is not just the unquestioning mindlessness and the oppression of women and religious minorities.

Reforming suggests a religion gone astray. Reformers of the past (and present) suggested a purer form of Islam. Islam not working? We need more Islam, more control, bring in the Taliban, more lashes, more stoning, more control of the women, Islam must rule over all they say, a closer following of the precepts that cause the illness. Drain the blood of the sick. It doesn't work. It is well beyond the above mentioned inequities, it is a recognition, little by little that the cult was founded on delusion, of one man and there lies the problem.
