Your suggestion was education as a starting point, which is plainly nonsense because Muslims being educated (yes, even the women) is not remotely new or revolutionary.
You don't understand Sharia, or the Ten Commandments apparently, as all Christian lives are based on the spirit of them (just as all Muslim lives are based on the spirit of Sharia). If you seriously believe otherwise, tell me exactly what you think Christians use for their moral compass, or why they're Christian at all.
It's great that you're basing your interpretation of progressive Islam on "I see burqas" but you should probably factor in things like: in the 1970s there were less than 100K Muslims in Canada, in the 80s that number doubled, and today that number is over 1 million. How many burkas are you seeing? I think I've seen less than 5 in my entire life, at most. It's not uncommon to see the hijab/head scarf, but I know a lot of Muslim women who are educated, strong women that wear it with pride. Some progressive Muslims view it as a negative symbol, but they often simply don't wear it in that case.
