Salaamun alaikum Afdhere,
You may remember me from the Progressive Muslims list. I find it strange sir, that you had the impulse to 'reevaluate' the qisaas of Lut since you were content to accept the corpus of hadith and seera literature as 'imperfect but perfect in its imperfection'. Why is Lut's tale up for reevaluation but not the story of Muhammad himself?
On to your interpretation:
You say that they did not accept Lot's offer to take his daughters instead of the visiting angels because they already had azwaaj. If this was the case, why were they going after the angels anyway?
thank you.
