An important 'time out' by a very clear thinker. Much of what Shoemaker claims about the Hijaz on the eve of Islam is conclusively disproved by material evidence, which grows by the year. I have a surprise, too, from my last survey mission (May 2025) between Taif-Mecca and Medina

#New on #OCIANA - The #Dhofari Script 2 inscriptions documented by Dr. Al-Mashikhi, many thanks for his hard work. DhI 8 is simply remarkable. The Mušrikīn of the Quran state: 'nothing dooms us but Fate (ad-dahr)'. DhI 8 states: 'Dahr, lord of plunder and fear, burned fiercely'.

Too Many Palestinian (and Certain Israeli) Voices Are Excluded from the U.S. Media

Gaza is Starving and the World Looks Away
By Adnan Hmidan ( Middle East Monitor ) – In Gaza, mornings no longer begin with the sound of explosions — but with the quiet, urgent cries of hunger. Mothers wake to infants with no milk. Children search for scraps to ease empty stomachs before the bombs return to flatten what little hope remains. This […]

I've been working on recent Qur'an translations. A common feature here is the desire to defend Islam against attacks. What struck me today is that, contrary to what many (including Muslim translators) would intuitively assume, this did not start on September 11, 2001. It started on January 16, 1991.
