On my behalf, let me link to <a href="http://www.halalmonk.com/ziauddin-sardar-critical-muslims-transmodern-tradition" rel="nofollow">a very interesting conversation I found between Ziauddin Sardar and Jonas Yunus (aka the Halal Monk)</a> in which he delves deeper into the way we should critically engage with both tradition as well as modernity.JTAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-62712908588850205682011-09-15T18:27:26.790-04:002011-09-15T18:27:26.790-04:00I will definitely be adding this to the "must...I will definitely be adding this to the "must read list". I'm still finishing up Islam's Quantum Question, and I'm sure I'll have some ideas for suggested reading after that, but hopefully I won't have to wait too long to tackle this.salman327https://www.blogger.com/profile/09719169381462318958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-81669575091768933202011-07-05T14:22:47.609-04:002011-07-05T14:22:47.609-04:00"He insists on the need to approach the Text ..."He insists on the need to approach the Text with fresh eyes, both by Muslims and non-Muslims, most of whom come to it with very wrong preconceived ideas, either due to their political standpoints or their religious backgrounds (the style and content of the Qur’an being so different from that of the Bible). He also stresses the need for Muslims to perform a personal reading and understanding of the Book, keeping “authority” at arm’s length."<br /><br />The author is neither the first, certainly not the last, person to attempt decoupling of Quran and Sunnah to justify his selective practice of the religion. What a waste of intelligence!<br /><br />It would be much easier for such sorry souls to adopt an unstructured religion, or be an atheist, or create a new religion altogether.Naushadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-82383724212415925372011-07-05T06:46:01.593-04:002011-07-05T06:46:01.593-04:00Nidhal.
