Will Islam accept other cultures and beliefs?

Some have hope of a reformation in Islam. They believe that Islam will mature, embrace modern times and thinking, and will accept living with the rest of the world rather than trying to conquer it by any and all means. They disregard the deep rooted 7th century mentality of Islam. Islam’s mission is to convert or destroy all who reject it. That has not changed one iota for the past 1,400 years.

I and just about all who have studied the history and current events regarding Islam, all are convinced that a reformation within Islam will not happen in time to stave off a major conflict between it and the modern world. It is not a question of education or exposure to the west. Suicide attacks have been perpetrated by illiterate goat herders as well as professionals who were educated in the west. People living in the west, still hold on to the primitive edicts of Shariah Law. This is evident by the many “honor killings” in America and other western countries.
If built, the Mosque at ground zero will be a symbol of Islam’s victory and dominance. This is the pattern of Islam, destroying symbols of other cultures and religions and replacing them with a Mosque as was the Mosque (Cordova House) in Spain.
