I agree with mostly what you have said.

[quote] for all the hadiths that we give for ref.of specially if we are deriving Rules from them, the recommended action is to critically analyze each one of them, [/quote]

I still dont understand why we still stuck in this rut about something which has absolutely nothing to do with the original Islam. Just because we have grown up with the concept of hadith does not mean we have to carry this emotional garbage all our life. There is absolutely no reason to derive any Islamic laws from hadith....for they are the same form of corruption that has occured to the message of Allah conveyed by all the prophets before the Quran.

[quote] unfortunately our scholarship in islamic sciences is only a handful and juvenile compared to the scholarship of other sciences in the world today; [/quote]
Unfortunately this is painfully true.

[quote] hence we ought to encourage these handfuls who have taken this daunting task of critically analyzing and researching in islamic sciences and propagating the essence of it, [/quote]

It would be great benefit if muslims started to practically do this. Unfortunately for most the idea of critical analysis means: To have well set prejudices and then spend the rest of the life defending them.

[quote] the Truth; which is the only hope for the muslim ummah today to come out of the darkness of sectarinism and ignorance-leading to their destruction everywhere in the world. [/quote]

Excellent. Truth begins with being honest with ones own self & that is where we should all begin.

[quote] the present day ilm/knowledge in any subject is heavily based on critical analysis be it literacy, maths, physics, biology. we must think that why should the science of hadith be excluded from it [/quote].

Knowldge has always been critically analysed. All the great civilisations have emerged as a result & their down fall results when they abandon this process. In fact Islam was based on critical analsis and resulted were phenomenal but once this approach was abandoned the Muslims gradually fell to the bottom of pile.
 [quote] where the systen is based on traditional thought-they are expected to put heads down and follow blindly like a herd of sheep and if we don't use our minds here as well, we'll be practically being a herd of sheep here [/quote],

True.
