Can Islam Evolve?

Ralph Kostant comments:

In a piece entitled The Pope and the Koran, published in The Jerusalem Post online edition, Daniel Pipes responds to a recent interview of Father Joseph D. Fessio, SJ on The Hugh Hewitt Show. Mr. Pipes does not share the pessimism that, according to Father Fessio, Pope Benedict XVI expressed concerning the capacity of Islam to evolve. I am sure that the Pope shares my hope that Mr. Pipes is correct. Also, it is good to see that the influence of Hugh, the Hedgehog’s blogfather, has spread internationally to an audience that is unlikely to have heard his show over AM radio (although it is available to them in real time over cyberspace).
