Dutch Muslim MP launches anti-fatwa campaign | Radio Netherlands Worldwide

I love the sound of this, but I can't help feeling that it may not turn out to be such a big deal. If it did, then it'd be rather like the Wittenburg Door receiving the 95 theses at the hands of Martin Luther. Though, I gather, that there were perhaps quite a few people proposing similar things (and had been for 150 years or more -witness Lollardy in England in around 1350). So perhaps its not that some Muslims are thinking like this, but whether there is a 'critical mass' of Muslims who think similarly. And of course, that's a question about the historical/cultural moment.
Dutch MP launches anti-fatwa campaign | Radio Netherlands Worldwide: “The Last Fatwa”, aims to “free Muslims from top-down decrees issued by a handful of scholars”. Muslims, the Dutch MP says, “should learn to think independently and make their own choices”.
The intriguing thing, and scary, of course, is that an anticlericalism (that is, anti-ulemaism) is part of the discourse of some at least of those we currently fear -the Islamists. What I'm not sure about but suspect, is that in this case the anti-ulemaic impetus may have something to do with disallowing critiques of their homicidal tendencies using established traditions and authority structures to remind them of uncomfortable and well-established (and often humane evolutions of) thinking based on Islamic sources and consensus. But then, that describes the situation at the Reformation in Europe, and let's not forget that our current religious pluralism is a result at least in part of religious violence and finding ways to get beyond it whilst allowing for freedom of thought and conscience.

So the question remains; is this the right time for this the right time for a reformation and is this the right way in?
