This ought to be interesting. A reform movement within Islam?
Hope they don't lose their heads over this.

Sounds like somebody has a fatwa headed their way.

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.

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

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

Indeed!
They murder, burn, rape, rob, and pillage over cartoons.
Can’t imagine what they’ll do to an attempt to change Islam.

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.

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

I think maybe Europe went through this with Erasmus and Luther and the others about 500 years ago.
It could lead to good things. Although I seem to remember Europe having a couple centuries of religious wars as people struggled to nail down what their religion really stood for, in light of the latest learning.
Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

They need an Islamic reformation, even if it kills them.

Would you rather they just allow the Hadith to remain the way the text is?
If they stopped being Muslims and converted en masse to Christianity, that would be great, but barring that, this is a decent move.
