Please allow me to suggest and highly recommend a reading. Thabet of Under|Progress has recently posted a link to a letter written by the premier Islamic scholars from all 8 schools of jurisprudence in response to Pope Benedict’s controversial statements where he cited the medieval Emperor, Emanuel II Paleolegus from a debate with an “educated Persian”. The letter addresses such issues as “reason and faith”; “forced conversions”; “jihad vs. holy war” and the relationship between Islam and Christianity.

[...] Earlier this month I did a post titled “Muslim scholars write letter to Pope” in which I had mentioned that I knew one of the signatories and over Wa Salaam’s there is a post where I had mentioned that I would write up a post about this Imam. I had even started it, but decided that I had wanted to track down Dr. Ceric’s e-mail address or phone number to do an interview with him but found myself often long on the to-do’s and short on time.
