PJ Media has invited me to revise and update my Blogging the Qur’an series, which first ran here at Jihad Watch in 2007 and 2008. The idea is to go through the entire Qur’an and show how mainstream Muslim authorities understand it. Here are the latest segments:
MUST READ: Robert Spencer’s Blogging the Qur’an: Sura 2, ‘The Cow,’ Verses 211-221
MUST READ: Robert Spencer’s Blogging the Qur’an: Sura 2, ‘The Cow,’ Verses 141-210
MUST READ: Robert Spencer’s Blogging the Qur’an: Sura 2, ‘The Cow,’ Verses 75-140
Robert Spencer’s Blogging the Qur’an: Sura 2, ‘The Cow,’ Verses 40-75
And here are the first three segments, in case you missed them:
Robert Spencer’s Blogging the Qur’an: Sura 2, ‘The Cow,’ Verses 1-39
THE WORLDWIDE MUST-READ: Robert Spencer’s Blogging the Qur’an: Sura 1, ‘The Opening’

What the hell is wrong with PJ Media? There you are, trying to read imam Robert’s explication of the Quran, but then along comes a pop-up ad that needs to be clicked away so that you can read the sacred text in peace. Surely there is a hadith somewhere in Bukhari that prohibits such disruption of Quranic instruction. There oughta be a fatwa…

I too noticed the difficulty of going to PJ Media for Mr Spencer’s commentary. Then I noticed an easier way to Blog the Qur’an: the furthest right tab here at Jihad Watch contains ALL of these elucidating efforts without the popup troubles.

Thanks for that tip, I_is_I.
I wonder whether following that rightmost tab leads to the original Bloggin’ the Quran, or to the (slightly?) revised-and-updated text at PJ Media.

Dates of revision are noted in parenthesis at the end of the articles. Well done once again, Mr. Spencer!

Glad to hear it, Robert. I learned a great deal from reading this excellent series.
