Bloggercon happened this weekend. According to Joho, islamicate was mentioned. I’ve been looking for coverage, but it seems people are still too busy. Anybody there who can let us know gave us a shout-out and what the context was?

A story
Rabia al-Adawiyya (aka Rabia al-Basri) was running through the streets of town, Basra, one day with a pail of water in one hand and a burning torch in the other. When asked what she was doing, she responded, “I want to put out the fires of Hell, and burn down the rewards of Paradise.” She was then asked why, to which she responded, “They block the way to God. I do not want to worship from fear of punishment or for the promise of reward, but simply for the love of God.”
quick conversion
I found the perfect solution for the holidays. Enjoy . . .
One thought on “Bloggercon anyone?”

If you got a spike in traffic yesterday afternoon, it was the Religion session at BloggerCon. The setup was pretty neat — a big screen at the front of the classroom where the session moderator could pull up sites which got referenced in conversation — and when I mentioned you, Islamicate popped onto the screen. I expect a bunch of people nabbed the url themselves (many folks had laptops and were using the wifi), and I saw a link to your site in Dave Weinberger’s blog afterwards: http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/
I hope to blog my notes from the religion panel later this week — will keep you posted. 🙂
