Sounds good. Is that what you are peddling Gandalf?
If muslims started saying that certain
specific commands (allegedly) coming from Muhammad should be relegated to the "its only for that place and time" category - Islamic law could dispense with a whole range of barbaric laws - including stoning for adultery, death for apostasy and executing gays.
'commands 'allegedly' coming from Muhammed'.
I like that. Who alleges that they come from Mohammed? Muslims.
What you are calling for, Gandy, is that Muslims have an internal dialogue about Islamic doctrine and Mohammed's role and ongoing influence in Islam. Seeing that Muslims would rather blow up, burn alive, behead and otherwise murderously degrade each other, I don't see where the motivation for internal dialogues about doctrine, alleged or otherwise, would come from. There is simply no history of Muslims engaging in fruitful, reasoned, peaceful ecumenical dialogue with each other.
I don't see your Paki, Saudi, Labian, Egyptian, Afghan and other tribal imam rethinking Islam and Mohammed.
Nor do you. So you are talking fantasy and you know it - ie taqiyya.
