| Scholars take new look at Islam Fri, 25 Apr 2008 02:06 EDT In a boxy stone building in the shadow of Ankara's central mosque, a group of scholars is spearheading a reinterpretation of the literary foundations of Islam that has been compared to Christianity's Protestant Reformation.With the backing of Turkey's reform-minded government, the team of 80 Islamic academicians from around the world is preparing to release a revised collection of the prophet Muhammad's words and deeds, which guide Muslims on everything from brushing their teeth to reaching heaven.By year's end, the academics hope to prepare a new intellectual road map for Islam.The revised collection of Muhammad's guidance will be the latest initiative in a contentious debate about the role of Islam in an era when the most prominent Muslim figures, at least in the West, are extremists such as Osama bin Laden. The rise of al-Qaida and the prominence of hard-line Islamist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Taliban, argue some Islamic reformers, has created a warped view of Islam in the West."This may help to take the words of the prophet from the hands of people who are using them to legitimize their bad deeds," said Mehmet Gormez, the vice president of Turkey's Religious Affairs Ministry, which is overseeing the project. |
