The question was this: As Muhammad is to Islam what Christ is to Christianity (i.e. the ultimate example of how adherents are to live within the faith interpret the Holy Texts) how is it possible to reconcile Islam as a religion of peace? Or even reform it without removing the example and teachings of the Prophet?
I have just recently stumbled across you on twitter and, agreeing with much of what you share there, I thought you may be a good person to ask about my original question to Imam Tawhidi. The question was this: As Muhammad is to Islam what Christ is to Christianity (i.e. the ultimate example of how adherents are to live within the faith interpret the Holy Texts) how is it possible to reconcile Islam as a religion of peace? Or even reform it without removing the example and teachings of the Prophet?

There is no comparison of Muhammad to Islam as Christ is to Christianity.
Muhammad did not die to offset Adam's sin and save the entire world. Muhammad is not the Son of God.
Muhammad saved no one. Died for no one, frees no one from sin, Does not open the opportunity for heaven to anyone. Does not inherit the world, does not promise joint-heirship to a select group called and faithful during the Gospel Age and offers no hope for the rest of humanity. He has no kingdom.
How can he even compare.
You can't reform Islam, just as you cannot reform the Catholic Church. There is a lot of commonality between these two religions. Both will be destroyed during the Great Time of Trouble spoken about by all the holy prophets (if they did not speak of this time then there is a problem with them) and by Jesus a myriad of times.
Jesus will come and set up his kingdom and God's will shall be done on earth as it is done in heaven. Anything false will be gone.
