...AND right in the middle of both extremes, we have those Muslims (count me in to be one of those) who consider the elementary parts of Islam to be as unchangeable as anything could possibly be BUT also think that the traditional way of understanding certain parts of Islam are in dire need of being re-evaluated and re-understood.
Now that is NOT akin to changing Islam in itself, but rather changing our understanding of it where appropriate.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on his final sermon:
Quote:
''...
All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly.
...''
