Best of this Blog

The following list contains some of my best content organized under the big categories my posts tend to fall under.

Faith and Reason

These blog posts discuss issues in relation to Islam, reason and philosophy. Some of them date back to earlier periods when I began delving down into the rabbit hole of epistemology, and others are more recent and highlight the heretic liberating evolution that began taking place in my way of thinking later on.
