Prof Brannon Wheeler of the United States Naval Academy: ‘All About Sharia’
An interesting dialog with Professor Brannon Wheeler of the United States Naval Academy who’s also the Director of the Center for Middle East and Islamic Studies. Among the topics covered are what exactly Sharia is and its complexities; what Hadith are, how they are interpreted and the idiocy of quote mining them; the oft misunderstood concept of Taqiyya; differences among Islamic Traditions and push-back against some of Frank Gaffney’s shady “scholarship”.
