Islam's civil war - more signs

There are growing signs that Islam is edging towards a civil war with itself.

I recently posted a look at the growing signs of a civil war within Islam, here's more.

Muslim Scholars Increasingly Debate Unholy War

First, Mr. Shahrour brazenly tackles the Koran. The entire ninth chapter, The Sura of Repentance, he says, describes a failed attempt by the Prophet Muhammad to form a state on the Arabian Peninsula. He believes that as the source of most of the verses used to validate extremist attacks, with lines like "slay the pagans where you find them," the chapter should be isolated to its original context.

So how are the Muslim's taking this new way of looking at things? Not very well from the looks of it.

Mr. Shahrour and a dozen or so like-minded intellectuals from across the Arab and Islamic worlds provoked bedlam when they presented their call for a reinterpretation of holy texts after a Cairo seminar entitled "Islam and Reform" earlier this fall.

"Liars! Liars!" someone screamed at a news conference infiltrated by Islamic scholars and others from the hard-core faithful who shouted and lunged at the panelists to a degree that no journalist could ask a question. "You are all Zionists! You are all infidels!"

Combine this with my earlier post and it looks like a whole lot of shaking maybe about to start. Maybe the so called moderate Muslims will wake up and join the fight against the jihadists.
