islam needs the equivalent of a Gorbachov.

But islam can never produce one. In this sense bolsheviks were better, more humane.

Islam and honesty are incompatible.

Monotheism leads to totalitarianism, imperialism and fascism. And in its worst form it is demonstrated by islam. This is not surprising. Islam means submission, and that lead to mental slavery. Mental slavery is not compatible with honesty, human dignity, human rights, independent thinking etc.
