A breath of fresh air!! I have been waiting for these types of discussions. It is time to go past the superficial, surface level of the religion and go deeper. We want more intellectual, relevant discussions pertaining to Deen. The more we do that the better we can practice, defend, and understand the deen. May Allah reward you.
This is what I have understand divine hidayat, such understanding contrary to written understanding of Quran is a very brave and tedious hard work, which Mr brown achieved in such a short time. May Allah grant such Hidayat to every Muslim. Islam cannot be defeated till such thoughtful people are preaching in the ummah.
