#2 That would be "The Jalalabad Peer Review".

There was felt a need to protect islam (as much as it can be protected) from further devolution into the mayhem inducing frenzy it's becoming. For this reason a number of shia and some sunni clerics cooperated to make academic agreements on certain commandments and proscriptions in their scripture. This entailed weeding out some stuff that was added in by later scribes and amending stuff without permission or discussion with the larger rabid community of scholars. Many of the clerics in civilized areas of Afghanistan have tried to realize the potential of a tolerant society.

As a result, they invite opprobrium from their rabid peers. And bullets. Sometimes friendly agencies can be asked to 'even the score' and off one of the hardliner sunni clerics. Eventually a truce is made, but not for long. After all, nobody can convince them that the whole philosophy is suicide anyway.

#3 civilized areas of Afghanistan

I won't believe there are any such things till it is proven.

This looks like a segue to all the lawyers in busses jokes.
