This ought to be interesting. A reform movement within Islam?

Hope they don't lose their heads over this.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Sounds like somebody has a fatwa headed their way.

Turkey - leading the Muslim world into the 12th century.

[Biggirl]

...This will go over well with the radicals.

Finally. Can stop posting: When will some freeper post a thread about Turkey's plan to revise the Islamic Hadith?

Hopefully there are a lot of comments to read.

There might be more impact if an Arab country, especially Saudi Arabia, was the country heading this, and not the Turks. But still, a move in the proper direction.

Interesting. Now work on getting a reversal of the new law allowing head scarves.

[paudio]

Now, does it mean they see the Hadith as a “living document”?

[denydenydeny]

It’s about time.

[r9etb]

So ... do these folks call themselves the “Mohammed Seminar?”

[newgeezer]

Turkey produces a revolutionary reinterpretation of Islamic texts

[Artemis Webb]

This will be labeled as blasphemy by Radical Islam and a price will be placed on the scholars and governmental heads.

[joebuck]

Given there is no narrative or structure to the koran and over half of it is literally gibberish, this is like saying you’ve found a new way to interpret the phone book.

[hometoroost]

Sounds like a good candidate for a “top-ten new entries in the Koran” list - how about “Pork - the other white meat” for starters

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

WOW.... This ought to be fun to watch.....

[Dog Gone]

This is somewhat encouraging.

[Greg F]

They have also taken an even bolder step - rejecting a long-established rule of Muslim scholars that later (and often more conservative) texts override earlier ones.

That’s big. I hope this succeeds and is as hopeful as it sounds.

What does our resident Islamist, JasonC, think of this?

[B-Chan]

Nail those theses to the door of the mosque, Muslim Luther!

This is the best news I’ve heard in ages.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The Islamic Reformation.

[Jo Nuvark]

Don’t let the significance of this go unnoticed ... PING!
