Is it much of Ijtihad reopening Ijtihad

where it was shut down?

Is it much of Ijtihad witnessing that Muslim clerics as well as down-to-earth believers have to wait for the gates of Ijtihad to reopen under the umbrella "consensus;analogy; laying down sharia- based laws"; the very gates which were bound to get sealed in the mid-10th century?While history has demostrated that those gates are not likely to reopen afer having shut down.Most likely because there was no more reason why they should remain open.
Therefore we think that present-day Muslims can do with a new form of Ijtihad; that of Reason and of Science, and that the existing interpretations of Islam are contemporary enough to underlie the new Ijtihad,providing that communication highways are build amidst the hollow gap separating the Reason-Science shutter from the Text- text interpretation shutter.This form of Ijtihad is what we've named " The 3rd Ijtihad" (or "Integrationist Ijtihad").
