Holland in the House

[romantiek]

Salaam,

I am totally new to this board and I really appreciate the way how a lot of people on this board are approaching Islam. I recognize in it a general tendency towards problematizing traditional and charismatic interpretative authority regarding the religious sources (mainly the Quran). At the same time I see that the emphasize is placed on rational interpretative authority, which I find to be a good thing.

The reason I am here is to openly reflect on thoughts regarding the implications of this shift.


By the way, is there anyone out here who's from Holland? It would be great to connect!

Ah, thats good to know.

By the way, do you know if there exists a thread which contains a list of good readings?
If not, i would like to open a thread (hopefully a sticky one) with the title "what are you reading right know?".
Im sure the members will have some good recommendations. What do you think?

romantiek,

That's a great idea.  So great in fact that that very thing has already been done. 

See here: http://free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=8989.0

It's a long-running thread and is still current.
