Thanks for your reply. Re the "official / unofficial" wording. Well spotted! Eek. I suppose using the word "official" in my announcement of the launch ("The official website of the Quranists Network is now up" could be seen to be presumptuous on my part, indulgent or possibly wishful thinking! The intention is that in time, the Quranists Network will become recognised and popular enough that it will be easy for people to find out what Quranism is all about, and it is also a place where people can contribute articles and blog posts. There is a new Quranist Blog Directory over at http//QuranistVoices.wordpress.com which is where ppl can register with WordPress and submit content directly - the idea being that the diverse nature of Quranists and their beliefs and views will be collected in a central place. We are also planning to put news / updates about the Quranists Magazine, Conferences and meet-ups / events, inshaaAllah. I guess I wrote "official" because it was "officially" ready to launch after being in stages of development for a while. In no way did I mean to imply any other Quranist sites were "unofficial" or less recognised or less important. Hope I didn't cause any offence. I probably meant that it I consider it now "officially" launched?! Maybe I'll stay away from using that word now - sounds a bit too authoritarian come to think of it - ironic really considering the nature of the site. Hope that clears things up, and I do hope you will visit the site, inshaaAllah, despite my little faux-pas there. If you have any blogs or articles you would like to submit, please feel very welcomed.
Peace
