C'mon Atlas, you could at least make a half-hearted attempt at being intellectually honest. The reason the Hadiths exist to begin with is that the Quran is clear as mud and people couldn't easily determine 'how' to follow it. I'm quite certain that if tomorrow every Muslim dropped the Hadiths and lived only by the Quran, Islamic areas of the world would still be a hotbed for violence.
Like it or not, Islam is more than the Quran. The fact that Islam needed the Hadiths is all one needs to know about the Quran's inability to be used as a stand alone guide for morality and establishing a functioning society. All you are really arguing is that a 'new' interpretation is needed rather than relying on the ancient Hadiths. Like The Bible, The Quran's time has come and gone.
All you are doing is spraying petrified shit with perfume and trying to peddle it as a paperweight. Join the rest of us and use reason to improve society. Constantly droning on about the supposed mind drippings of an illiterate 7th century merchant is counterproductive.
