New blog

I’ll be writing for a new blog called The Granada Blog . It is part of a broader project of intellectual revivalism. I think any Muslim who is interested in the current state of our community and wanting to understand it should check out the blog. The writers are highly educated, informed and genuinely passionate about such issues.   The following is a brief description of the aims and objectives of the Granada Project.

The Granada Project represents a core of students and professionals that are currently attempting to introduce cultures into the Muslim community that have the ability to empower its members. By cultures, we mean modalities of ‘thinking in practice’ that reflect both our principles and the contexts we are a part of.

The first culture we are trying to create and sustain is one of critical movement. That is, we are striving to generate community movement that incorporates a critical and insightful understanding of our society.

It is our hope that out of this culture a movement will emerge that will be able to service our community by providing it with an experienced understanding of our society.
