This reform project hit the headlines this week when the BBC ran a story on what it called “a revolutionary reinterpretation of Islam - and a controversial and radical modernisation of the religion“. It said the revision of the hadith, the collection of the sayings of the Prophet Mohammad that are second only to the Koran as an authority for Muslims, was something akin to a Protestant Reformation in Islam." More: Turkey “not reforming Islam, but itself†with hadith review - FaithWorld  For the complete report from Israel Hasbara Committee click on this link Sarkozy's Policy on Turkey's E.U. Accession: Bad for France? - by Soner Cagaptay According to Soner Cagaptay, France's President Sarkozy was elected partly because of his tougher approach to Islamic radicalism within France which was a public reaction to events such as the rioting in Paris in 2005. Cagaptay also endorses actions the French President has taken that include the appointment of Algerian-Moroccan immigrant Rachida Dati as Minister of Justice. However, Cagaptay argues that Sarkozy can reinforce the "European-ness" of non-radical Muslims within France by supporting Turkey's accession into the European Union. Thus far, Sarkozy opposes inclusion of Turkey in the European Union.  "Turkey Reaches Out to Muslim Neighbours By Soner Cagaptay Jane's Islamic Affairs Analyst, March 2008 Early indications from Turkey's Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi: AKP), which assumed governance for the second time in July 2007, render it possible to make certain predictions about the future of Turkish foreign policy. The AKP will likely continue its hallmark policy of good ties with the US, while increasingly sympathising with the Muslim countries of the Middle East. The AKP successfully balanced good relations with the US and solidarity with Muslim countries and concerns during its first term between 2002 and 2007. Can the party keep this balance in its second term?"
