[quote](1)Like I said, it is a source of history. It is about the Prophet’s (p) life and environment. He is an important figure. Therefore, though it is a source of history, it is more special to us. What is contained in it will be an example for us. A source of history on his life will inevitably have lots of information on how he practiced, preached and understood the religion. Such a thing can be very valuable. Therefore, if the information is shown to be authentic and there is no reason to doubt it, then why reject it? 
(2)If “some of the Hadiths are not accurate” why reject those that are?

Is there not even a slightest hint of contradiction here? If you can accept something as an integral part of Islam which even you yourself acknowldge has inaccuracies in it then my friend that is up to you. We will all be ultimately responsible for our own actions and beliefs.

These are the revelations of Allah, which We are rehearsing to you in truth. Then what narration is there after Allah and His revelations that they will believe?"
– Surah Al Jathiyah 45:1-6

Ok lets accept your version above. Are you suggesting that we accept hadith books as narration of Allah. Otherwise how do you reconcile the verse quoted by yourself and your beleif in hadith.

Oh, but disagreements will always exist. You are upset but understand that the tone makes the music! If you are going to be as blunt as you were in sharing your thoughts, why should I not return the favour at least once in a while? Sometimes we need a little taste of our own medicine.
I dont know about you, but i have no problems with disagreements.

What I find astonishing is the lengths that people go to, to invent and clutch unto their own ideas even when it is completely unsupported by the context. Have they forgotten how to interpret a piece of literature?
Self rigteousness and personal attacks, no matter how subtle, are often a sign of a difficulty in accepting difference of opinion. which bit of my medicine are you actually returning?

I am not sure the relevance of you mentioning Mr khalifa. I assume you are trying to suggest somehow your points have greater merit by simply associating others with Mr khalifa. For you information It is only recently that I have heard of the above and at present my knowledge of his work is very limited to make a comment. I can also only assume that you are implying I am somehow influenced by Mr Khalifa. Ever since I was a teenager, which was few decades ago, I have found the hadith books to be very flawed-which at the time was very painful and difficult to understand. If you have issues with Mr Khalifa I suggest you raise them with his followers.

Do correct me where you think I have been inaccurate.
Since we seem to disagree with each other so fundamentally it is difficult to point any particular percieved inaccuracies. 
My friend If the discussion becames a debate for our egos to prove that our prejudices are correct then it serves no purpose other than create unnecessary negative feelings. I fear we are just going to go round in circles with our view points
