Thank you for this post and the work that you and the others at FFI do. Appreciate the heads up on the Mardin fatwa reaction.

Thanks for your comment Tammy. Not sure I know what you mean about the post being in red. The headlines are always in red, the main text always in black.

Moving along in simple manner:

The Mardin Declaration – described above as a theological initiative – was in itself flawed, from the standpoint of jurisprudence. Fatawa (pl), once written, properly vetted, and acknowledged cannot be abrogated. A fatwa is a “stand alone” endeavor meant to be recognized and untampered with in original form by succeeding generations of jurists. As such, an appropriate mechanism is not abrogation and “explanation” based on the historic timeline rather the issuance of a new fatwa, by a recognized Islamic state, agency (within America it is the Fiqh Council of North America) or recognized scholar or group of scholars. The scholars in attendance at the Mardin Conference were ones of note – but it was the distinct belief that the process in place, one of non-allowance for intellectual abrogation of a specific body of work – which caused a flank of scholars to decline the invitation to Turkey.

Not sure why this post is in red. Feel free to standardize.

It’s possible that there are logistical issues. Organization of such magazines isn’t exactly easy even when they aren’t being hunted.

The other big question for me is “What’s happening with Sada al-Malahim ?”. If I’m right Sada al-Malahim has been published every two months between january 2008 and october 2009. Since then, AQPA have only published two issues (12 & 13)…and the last one was in May.

Is the new magazine “Inspire” supposed to replaced “Sada al Malahim” ?
Are the people usually in charge of “Sada al Malahim” in such bad position, that they are not able to published it and so they leave “Inspire” feel the vacuum ?
