This week the Orthodox Christian Network is having a podcast discussion on whether Islam is compatible with freedom. I do not know what they will say, but OCN is a reliable source of Orthodox thought. So, let me recommend that you may wish to listen to that podcast. You can see the details here. Let me give you a small quote from their blurb:
Listen this week to hear from Mustafa Akyol, a Turkish journalist who asks, “Is Islam incompatible with freedom?” Join us for part one of a provocative discussion on religion’s role and responsibility in politics and social freedoms.
I guess it all boils down to ones definition of freedom really is- but I’ll have to wait and check out the podcast then! thanks for the heads up! 🙂
