One of the things Islam conspicuously needs is a critical edition of the Qu'ran (a project which was once I believe supposedly in progress). That could help a lot. The problem is that the existing extremists and people who have vested interest may interfere a lot if moderate Muslims propose such a thing. I think that has been the principal worry, along with the conservative nature of many of the scholarly institutions in the middle east and Asia who might have been expected to attempt such a project years ago. There is also the vexed issue of the many scattered documents that would have to be compared and analysed to prepare a standard text. |
