#1 This is an important part of Islamic 'reformation', which is getting momentum among intellectuals in traditionally more moderate Islamic countries.

A lot of Muslims crave a 'modern' Islam, that (hypocritically) dispenses with the primitivism, barbarism, ignorance and violence of its current form. This means deemphasizing the nasty parts and emphasizing the "nicer" bits to be preeminent in their doctrines.

Christianity went through this painful process a long time ago.
