Some interesting links from http://www.qantara.de

The Emergence of Islam
No Prophet Named Muhammad?
http://www.qantara.de/webcom/show_article.php/_c-478/_nr-656/i.html

According to Lüling, the Reformation called for in Islam is not only necessary, it is also not possible without a critical look at the holy text in the manner that he, and others, have undertaken. (from 2004)

Islamic Studies
Liberate the Prophet from the Stranglehold of Religion!
http://www.qantara.de/webcom/show_article.php/_c-478/_nr-695/i.html

If you’re under threat for that reason, are many Muslims so intolerant?

Ibn Warraq: Of course there are moderate, tolerant Muslims as well. The most tolerant are the less educated people, who don’t know exactly what it says in the Qur’an because they find it too difficult to read Arabic. Educated Muslims or those who can at least read the Qur’an are more intolerant. They often take it literally.
