It's still early Monday morning here on the Bay in San Francisco, so I feel I can still make a comment, Peter, under this heading. On holiday, one has a bit more freedom to blog.
I was struck on reading your side-bar link to Steve Bells' article on the lack of a Muslim Reformation. However, it would appear that - for Steve anyway - there is a delicate movement being made today, mostly among Muslim intellectuals, towards a revolution of humanitarian objectives by some moderns.
Like with our Christian Reformation, it would appear that there is some sort of prospect of a hermeneutical revision of the static understanding of the Qoran - hitherto unheard of in the Muslim world.
I guess, if one believes that the Holy Spirit might still be working among the Islamic descendants of Abram, then such a thing as Muslim Reformation could also be underway - helping Muslims to a more humane understanding of God at work in their world.
If, as Steve suggests, the current violent upheaval in Islam might be a sign of the devolution of traditional Islam {like a ball of fire being doused by a mighty flood, perhaps}, then there may arise a more eirenic Faith movement - centred on the kenotic action of the Incarnate Son of God, as the focus of a new movement on the Holy Spirit 'upon ALL flesh'.
Might this not then help to bring about the 'new heaven and the new earth' that has already been prophesied?
Perhaps, Ron, but our prayer must be that Muslims come to faith in Jesus as God's Son.
