Sounds from Within Nice poem.It reminded me of another remarkable poem 'Stopping by the woods in a snowy evening', by Robert Frost.Have u read it?

The Quest To confront someone who has poisioned ur life, especially if it is someone with whom you have a blood relation, is an extremely painful situation. i beieve_Its a moment of battle between mind and memory__where memory of old tortures act like a sharp dagger inserting & injuring present consciousness of the sufferer.If someone gets this chance of confrontation and of catharsis its a great oportunity.Not everyone gets it __not everyone can get over it and start feeling light. However i am really looking for tips to cut down such poison trees, residingin our mind, which although were seeded by bad attitudes of our loved ones but are ofcourse nourished by our on hatred.

Reinterpretation of Islam in Turkey I am simply amazed by your shortsightedness. I guess people like you, who have just read a few Hadith 'off and on', not only make a fool of themselves but also baffle many along with them. True that Islam provides guidance to humans beings but it came to free humans(especially Arabs) who were terribly entrapped by many irrelevant conventions and traditions. It is not rooted in old customs and traditions__ it free us from them (no dowry, no slavery, no burying alive of baby girls, no cruel tradition etc etc). If you have time then just read a bit of history before Islam and then a about how Islam enlightened them to better understanding of the world.
No offense, but in this article of yours is a superb example of poor argumentation. Since you have built your points on absurd interpretations of Hadith it has become real hard for you to 'draw a line'.As far you or I will try to draw lines we will only end up with a greater mess. Islam is not about drawing lines but multiplying knowledge and to maintain a balance in Life. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made it clear that only he who is pious is nearer to Allah and 'Who is Pious?' we do not know as Allah knows only the real intention of our hearts; and Religion primarily is an affair between God and Man. Therefore whenever people try to draw lines they mess all somewhat similar to the one you have made as you have ventured to draw a line between 'relevant' and 'irrelevant' things in Islam. I hope you can see how naive your comments sound:

“The Muslim world seems to be intellectually frozen in the seventh century A.D. while rest of the world has completely changed in every respect. Our means of transportation, for example, are now mechanical in contrast to those of the early Islam (animal transportation).”
“No body could ever think of a digital computer in the seventh century. It is an essential part of human life now.”

How ridiculous!!!! Where in world Muslims are still riding camels just because in early days Arabs used to do so? Or Hello!!! there are a hell lots of things people never thought of then and yes still many things to come that even you might not have thought about or imagined about! But Where does it proves that Muslim world is frozen in 7th century?just look around you and count how many Muslims are still living is a style of 7 century? I can't believe you can write such a poor piece when you have wrote some other remarkable articles...but this is simply pathetic.

Now let me help you see that Irrelevant is not the Hadith you have quoted in a so-called brilliant manner but instead its your 'perspective' which is irrelevant. For instance Hadith you have quoted (604, (Medicine) Sahih Bukhari , regarding lice and its treatment ,no where suggests that no other solution should ever be accepted or tried to get rid of lice. Moreover head shave ,an effective way as it is, was suggested in first place. Yes , we might think what relevance does the other part of the suggestion had? Well we never know and surely we can not compete with the prudence and knowledge Allah Almighty had bestowed our Prophet (PBUH) with. For instance It is said that Aqeeqa , slaughtering of animal, actually prevents the newborn from many troubles. We sure live in a world where metaphysical elements prevail and for which we have many reference in Quran too. However, my point is that who knows what impact the other part of the suggestion might as well have but thing is Islam is a religion of common- sense and one that frees people to seek knowledge and learn better ways to adopt wisdom where ever one founds. Let me just quote a well known saying as a reminder “Wisdom is lost property of Momin, one should own it where ever one founds it'.Unfortunately you have not come across any of such quotes in Hadith and Islam and I must say your obsession that Islam is rooted in past and the idea that 'we can not go in past'(very true though) has blinded you to the reality of not only Islam but of the obvious too.
Similarly the second Hadith quoted by you merely highlights the importance of honey which was one way of cure (Shifa) in days when no painkillers were available. The statement that his stomach lies can also refer to a psychological fact where at times anxiety causes butterflies in ones' stomach .Ever seen children complaining stomach ache when going to school? If so then you might understand what I am saying.
Once again about the third hadith you have quoted regarding fever tells about curing fever by water and this is also an effective way of relieving up to this day. Islam is a religion that encompasses all aspects physical and spiritual and many Muslims also know the effectiveness of 'Sorhe Fatiha' in this regard. However, all Muslims are well aware of the fact when they have to do and use medicines ,see doctors and try what suits them best because Islam asks its believers to think and act accordingly..
You are very right that, “the task of reinterpreting and modernizing Islam is quite difficult” but you are not all right when you complete the sentence with,“because it is deeply rooted in the past.” Islam itself doesn't confine men to a frozen period of time. Its a religion that began with the word 'Iqra' and goes beyond the material reality to provide wisdom and knowledge for all walks of life. However, there are certain rigid Islamists /Mullahs who do not welcome change: No TV, No Music, No women driving cars, No ...no...no...” Ironically you might see they do not practice what they preach for example they might appear on TV to say 'no TV', and might not even bother about the movie cameras as long its picturing them, and might object at girls studying in Medical colleges with boys but want a lady doctor to show their ladies to, so on and so forth. Simple common sense tells us that they are not be followed and that this is not Islam! In Islam there is a concept of 'Ijtihad' according to which people are required to adopt ways with the changing times as long they don't fall in the category of 'Shirk'. Muslims in early days who stuck to the healthy pragmatic teachings of Islam made great contributions in field of education,medical,architecture and other branches. They led the world! I think what we actually need to get rid of, in order to create a congenial society, are two extremists: 'rigid-mullahs' and 'ridiculous-interpretors' , whose common -sense has frozen somewhere in times of 7th century__ both types who believe they know the 'Real Islam' which for them is nothing more than a mosaic of 7th century. How Absurd!
