It looks like scholars in Ankara are picking up the torch.

Hm ... it's about time to see Hadits from that perspective. Even in Indonesia, Cak Nur, also see that from the history, the era when Mohammad said the rule.
Changing the theological foundation of the religion ? Well, I am not the expert, but it's about time to have reformation.
I was going to blog this.. but got side tracked. I am glad they are going something about it.. it's long over due.
Btw, I didnt see it mentioned in Indonesian papers.. maybe I missed it.
