Zanzibaris Adopting Stricter Form of Islam
As I have pointed out many times, jihadists gain adherents by appealing to the Qur’an and Sunnah: the great vulnerability of the more moderate form of Islam that has prevailed for some time in Central Asia, Eastern Europe and parts of Africa is that it was never based on Qur’anic literalism, and has no theological […]

“The call to reform Islam is an alien call”
As I have pointed out many times, Islamic reformers will always be challenged by hardliners who invoke the plain words of the Qur’an and Sunnah against them.
