Daily Times – Site Edition
SECOND OPINION: The myth of Ijtihad� �Khaled Ahmed�s TV Review

Dear visitor,

Welcome on the changed Religionresearch Islam Blog. This blog is still part of the Religionresearch.org website; a website that is started by members of the researchgroup Between Religionization and Secularization of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

We have moved from Moveable Type to WordPress. Certainly no less than before, but some work needs to be done. If you have any advices, comments, please let me know.

With regards,

Martijn
