An interesting story out of Turkey this week, where it was announced that a gathering of clerics is re-writing the Hadiths, to remove those that are not compatible with the 21st Christian century, (rather than the 14th Islamic century), and those that were obviously not the words of Mohammed.
Potentially this is a momentous move in the Islamic monolith, but it is fraught with danger and the strong likelihood that the fanatics will just wipe it off the planet.
The full story is here, and I will comment further when the full version of what's in, and what's out, are published.
I suspect that the changes may be rather tamer than we are being led to believe, but who knows, maybe this is the first of the many much needed reforms needed, to take the violence out of Islam, and thus end the proselytising at the point of a sword syndrome, which is inherent in the religion.

It would be interesting to note the reaction of muslims in other countries such as Egypt and Indonesia etc .... are they happy with this?
