i’m still here

Dear reader, sorry for my long recent absences from this blog. Life has become even busier and I find I often lack the energy at the end of the day to write and publish any thoughts.

However, I will be moving to Darfur this week to take a new position closer to the field work and hope that this will stimulate my writing!

While you wait, if you want something to read, check out this BBC News article on Turkey’s attempts at reinterpreting the Hadith – the sacred sayings and interpretive guidelines that shape so much of Islam. Very interesting. Potentially, very controversial.  I’m interested to hear what my Muslim friends have to say about this.
