Does Islam Have a Future?

Rachel Lu writes for The Federalist about the dilemma confronting Islam. She says many deeply sensible things about its conflict with modernism. A couple of favorites follow:
We can't hide from the genuine possibility that authentic Islamic adaptation to the modern world may not be an achievable goal.

If Muslims wish to salvage something of their civilization, they need to convince their adherents that there is a way forward for them that does not involve a choice between mass murder and capitulation to the assumptions of the secular world.
Spengler argues we now witness the death throes of the Muslim world, he revels in apocalyptic pronouncements.
