Re: Finally, something worthy of academic attention
What I find striking is that the overwhelming number of publications in the reference section have non muslim authors. I am certain that there must have been academic treatments of the subject done at some point in our history, by fairly academic minded persons. Perhaps such works are referred to indirectly through another academic’s paper, but I see that as a problem. One should be able to refer directly to sources of the subject one is studying. Building a case on non original references or indirect references to original material tends to worsen slants and biases.
