Just want to say a public thank-you for all the info about Islam and
democracy. It's great to get a dose of substance in the midst of our
discussion.
The main thing I've known about Islam is that it has had such a strong oral
tradition that the printing press did not have nearly the impact in Islamic
lands as it did in Christian areas. And since I've focused my readings on
printing technology in history, that meant I saw very little about Islam.
How do you happen to know all this?
Nick
