My purpose in starting this blog was to provide a forum in which I could express my views on matters that I have spent most of my adult life studying: Islam, law, politics, and comparative religion. I am a practicing American Muslim committed to international peace, interfaith dialogue, and political reconciliation between the Muslim and non-Muslim communities of the world.
I would invite feedback and (especially) criticisms from interested readers. In the interest of time and productiveness, I will not be participating in public discussions on my own posts, but I would certainly welcome personal messages from visitors.
Thanks for visiting.
I visit your blog often. Your writing is detailed and your citations are strong. Have you read any literature on quantitative comparisons in the Quran and Sunnah and how that may relate to modern, population based, demographic, and social issues, especially in terms of war, oppression, and occupation?
I think I stumbled upon your blog when you had commented on one my blog posts regarding a possible contextual explanation of slavery not being directly abolished in the Quran as a means to prevent genocide on OQ’s polymath kings blog. I may be wrong. You may not have been the poster, but it was from that blog that I had come across yours.
