2007-11-04 20:52 Vi hörsammar budskapet
Tidskriften Minaret ställer sig helt och hållet bakom Budskapet från Amman (arab. Risalat Amman). Imam Abd al-Haqq Kielan, ansvarig utgivare, och jag själv, har undertecknat. De allra flesta av islams ledande auktoriteter, organisationer och lärosäten har redan anammat budskapet.
