A new independent attempt at creating moderate Islam was penned up by two Turkish Muslim intellectuals: Zeyno Baran and Mustafa Akyol.
The Manifesto calls for moderation - rejecting violence and supporting democracy, secular law and women's rights.
The test of whether this attempt succeeds or fails depends on whether Muslims sign it - both the general population as well as religious and political leaders.
