How Muslims believed earth was spherical long before anybody mentions it.

You should probably re-read The Immunity then.

Also, I have never taken a position claiming the superiority or pureness of Sunni or Shia doctrine; I'm not sure where you got that idea. I think it's all horseshit.

I will also ask you to quit using the silly argument that Islam is only the Quran. This is certainly your opinion and I know this view is shared by other Muslims, but you are in a very small minority. The fact of the matter is that for most of the Islamic world, the hadiths are central to the practice of Islam even though the Quran holds supremacy. Your disagreement doesn't change this fact nor does it exonerate Islam as a whole.

Working to shift the practice of Islam away from the hadiths is a step in the right direction, but I doubt you'll get far espousing this doctrine in Islamic states. The amusing thing is that only with the protection afforded freedom of religion in liberal democracies can the attempt be seriously made. I can only see the quest as a step in the right direction because there is still a lot of baggage in the Quran that is contrary to the freedoms enjoyed in first world countries. The same can be said of the other Abrahamic texts so I'm not just picking on Islam here.
