Australian Muslim activist and blogger Amir Butler, together with his buddy Ismail Royer, has launched a new web magazine called A True Word. From their mission statement:A True Word was established to provide an authentic Islamic viewpoint on contemporary issues, and to actively engage the non-Muslim world in a constructive and honest dialogue of ideas. We write for both Muslims and non-Muslims.
It's an interesting form of "dialogue," replete with articles such as America Must Revise Policies Towards Islamic World, "Pro-Democracy" Think Tank is Front for Israeli Lobby and Does Allah order Muslims to kill Jews? Well, the answer given in the article, of course, is "no." As we know, some imams seem to disagree.
More and more, I wonder what the heck an "authentic Islamic viewpoint" could possibly be.
