[Reader-list] Rethinking Islam

[Tapas Ray]

hello! i'm a little confused. what exactly is the problem you see in 
shuddha's post? do you think that as someone with a hindu name, he 
should not have read so much about islamic thought, or if he did, should 
not have mentioned that in public?

just curious.
