Updating TypeLists
Added 1001 Inventions (finally) to “islaam salaam.” They’ve also got a blog now, which I just noticed. Added Progressive Islam (go Ali and co.) to “moslemeque.” They’ve chosen as their tag line an ayat from one of my favorite surahs, both for its content and its oral/aural component.
Interesting links
Couple of nice short articles today from alt.muslim: Killing the Moderates We’re Fighting a War on Islam (the same topic as my You Can Call Me Satan.)
Other Blogging
I now also blog at Religion Dispatches. Don’t worry, islamicate isn’t going anywhere.
