Islam expert Robert Spencer has a weekly series at Hot Air called Blogging the Qur'an. I highly recommend it. The Qur'an can be a difficult read, with its stilted language and incomplete references to people, places, and events that assume the reader has prior knowledge of. Spencer, using only respected Islamic sources, produces his own commentary and explicates the text for Western readers. I consider this an indispensable tool for anyone trying to get a grip on the theological basis for the jihad being waged against us.
The title of this post comes from this week's essay, which covers Sura 13, "The Thunder." Here is a link to all the essays posted so far.
