Hello All

I am going to begin this blog with the hopes of eventually writing a book on the subject of how libertarian philosophy jives quite well with my understanding of Islam.  I thought this would be an interesting subject because on most issues, Muslims seem to be quite authoritarian but the religion itself does not demand the yoke of state most of us hear about from the various Middle Eastern states.  This is a subject I have been researching now for several years at the behest of my wife, who led me to learn about Islam in the first place (alhamdulilah!), and I have quite a bit of web material and independently researched material to go over in the blog and later the book.  I welcome all arguments and comments - PLEASE give me feedback!!  Ideas only get better when tested, and I want my ideas put through the figurative crucible.

See you over the next several months as I begin this!!
