Despite it's length I have printed it out and read it and would highly reccommend it to all those on the L who may be interested, and indeed even to those who think they might not be. It seems to me that Abdul Hakim Murad has really summed up the challenges facing us, and let those who disagree put forward a different view and we can debate them. I only recently discovered Abdul Hakim Murad, and you may have seen the article on Gender and Islam that I posted to the L a little while ago (which I am attaching below). Unfortunately I did not have the time to post it as you have done with this article. I hope that you might find the time to read that one, and maybe post any comments. I would also be interested to hear from Bro. Momodou Mbye Jabang on these articles. I personally have found them very inspiring and indeed liberating! Anyway, thank you again for the posting, Yeendu ak jaama & Ramadan Mubarak - baallal ma axa Tony >> ********************** Tony, l think it will be good to debate the issues raised in this article by Mr Murad. Infact, Prince Coker had asked a question pertaining to some of these issues, and l had merely given him a non-committal answer due to the fact that l have been rather busy with business and Ramadan. However, l will come back to you guys on this issue when time permits me, inshallah.Thanks for the forward, and Ramadan Kareem.
