I wont be accusing you of ecumenical PC anytime soon. Well layed out ... I clearly misunderstood a portion of your original post. You seem to feel that while Christian's understanding of their faith (rather then the faith itself) has "evolved", that sort of concerted effort to expand the knowledge of one's faith within Islam has not only been absent, but trended towards regression, especially in recent history.To put it in secular terms this would be akin to looking at one of our nation's founding phrases, "all men are created equal." In the Christian sense we are more fully realizing it by including women, and all races; whereas, in this scenario, Islam is not only limiting it to men via literal translation, but invoking various "scholars" of the period to further regressively refine it to only white, land owning males.
Wikileaks ... your point is valid, but thus far the exact opposite has proven to be true. The NY Times, and various other "news" sources have refused to print/release such documents (the actual classified material) as of late. And the culprit PFC's are in each case a different source. Despite their knowledge that the last is facing 50-75 years in prison, it seems it is they who keep popping up to replace each other, while Wikileaks remains the sole source of note willing to take risks other groups simply will not.
