Welcome, visitors from Informed Comment! Thanks for dropping by. I'm extremely honored that Juan Cole selected me as one of a small number of genuinely diverse voices in the blogosphere that he wanted to highlight.
I've been pretty busy with work lately so updates here have been a little slow, but I would like to particularly recommend some of the following selections from my archives. These blog entries are also listed in the sidebars on the main page of this blog.

The "What Islam Really Says About" series:
