Teach Your Children Well

The future as a truism and a cliché

Can two incompatible value systems be accommodated within the public school system and the inevitable clash between reason and unreason avoided?

Shared Prophets

Biblical Figures in the Koran

Shared Prophets gathers together all the relevant revelations about the biblical heroes, and the odd villain, whom Allah invited to strut their stuff on His stage, the Koran.

Unfinished

Going Swimming Fully Clothed

A Brief Introduction to Islamic Law

It’s not easy swimming fully clothed, or so I have read...

For a layman writing about Islamic jurisprudence it is not unlike going swimming fully-clothed, metaphorically-speaking. You are constantly in danger of being dragged beneath the waves of your own logic as you struggle to explain things that on the surface (pun intended) seem to defy common sense...

Remembering Uzzah

A Black Comedy in Three Acts

Remembering Uzzah is meant to make learning about the Koran and the Prophet Muhammad a painless and mostly pleasant experience while not sugar-coating or leaving out the naughty and nasty bits.

And, is there a better place to learn about Islam then in the relaxed atmosphere of a favourite pub in the company of friends and a beautiful, bright, doomed young woman to give you an insider's perspective?

Pitches

 

Thank you for visiting the Boreal website.

It was Thomas Paine’s plain language Common Sense that touched the hearts and minds of the ordinary people of America; the people who would decide the outcome of the American Revolution. In my postings and my books I try to live up to that tradition of explaining the seemingly complicated in terms we can all understand.
