[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]Whatever the case, the Muslim world is completely different. The dark ages in which the Muslim world now finds itself are not a result of increased religiosity, or religious adherence, but rather of decreased adherence and religiosity. That social dynamic has bred religious ignorance so that anything can now be passed off as religion if you have a long-enough beard.The Muslim world right now, is going through some kind of renaissance. There are many competing ideologies, and in time one will emerge to recapture the enlightenment of the past. The Qur'an certainly has not lost its influence on human development. Rather it now has the capacity to be more positively influential than ever.The Qur'an does not need to be 'retooled into a more progressive mindset'. It is a progressive mindset. The early Muslims were progressive people. Real Muslim scholars continue to be.The Qur'an therefore, is not only relevant to the modern world, but will always be. It enunciates prinicples of guidance for humanity. Humanity does not change, though the manifestation of the human condition does. Essentially, the problems are always the same, even if the symptoms become more complex.

While it makes a lot of sense, I have never seen this opinion in print or in the media. What would happen to an Islamic scholar if he publicly denounced extremism and called for returning to the humanistic roots of Islam? [/quote]

They always do it and have always done it. Get off of mainstream media and you will find them. All the scholars/mosques that I know and have been to have denounced extremism and have begged Muslims to return to the right path and be united. I have watched a scholar cry begging for the unity of the ummah
