“I have identified five precepts central to the faith that have made it resistant to historical change and adaptation. Only when these five things are recognized as inherently harmful and when they are repudiated and nullified will a true Muslim Reformation have been achieved. The five things to be reformed are: 
1. Muhammad’s semi-divine and infallible status along with the literalist reading of the Qur’an, particularly those parts that were revealed in Medina; 
2. The investment in life after death instead of life before death; 
3. Sharia, the body of legislation derived from the Qur’an, the hadith, and the rest of Islamic jurisprudence; 
4. The practice of empowering individuals to enforce Islamic law by commanding right and forbidding wrong; 
5. The imperative to wage jihad, or holy war.”
― Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now
