In the here and now,  whatever good elements Islam possesses are eclipsed entirely by the bad.  

Too many Muslims adhere to Sharia Law and too many support barbaric, cruel, and utterly insane behaviours. 

Honour killings, beheading gays and apostates,  forced child marriages......  the list goes on 

Islam is becoming a death cult wherein suicide bombers, often children, are glorified.  

They become instant saints  and martyrs for blowing themselves up and taking with them many other innocent lives  

I see no evidence that the author or others of her ilk are willing to address these issues.
