salam, well, we have pretty "midieval" *literature* such as the hadiths... which have anti-semitic stuff... like "meat decays because of the jews" ... and anti-women stuff like "adulterous women are so because of eve"... and the likes... sufi islam -- in my opinion, and i'm not a sufi -- is more personal relationship with god, where traditional islam (like sunnism, shi'ism, etc) have been more constructed paths for the individual. one lets the individual acquire more freedom to *think* outside of the box. i would rather not talk about the wahabbis :) afdhere Afdhere Jama Editorial Director HURIYAH Publications S A N F R A N C I S C O [email protected] http://www.huriyahmag.com >From: [email protected] >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [Progressivemuslimsnetwork] Re: ProgressiveMuslims digest, Vol 1 #355 - 4 msgs >Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 00:24:57 EST > >In a message dated 1/28/04 6:22:57 PM Eastern Standard Time, >[email protected] writes: > > > the traditional muslims translated verses (anti-semitic ways, anti-women > > ways, etc) are apparently the way islam is > >hmmm these labels (like "traditional") are problematic no?
