Turkey in Radical Revision of Islamic Texts
In another attempt to progress 'modernization', Turkey's Department of Religious Affairs is preparing to release new interpretations of the second most sacred text in Islam to the Koran, the Hadith.
According to Fadi Hakura, an expert on Turkey from Chatham House in London, Turkey is doing nothing less than recreating Islam - changing it from a religion whose rules must be obeyed, to one designed to serve the needs of people in a modern secular democracy.
