So, is there a way to fix the RSS feed here so new posts will show up in FB via NetworkedBlogs?

I always consider it interesting regarding the contrast of the Koran's literary genre between The Hebrew Scriptures (or both Old and New Testaments). The Koran does not really follow historical narrative as we find in the Pentateuch and other subsequent books in the Hebrew Canon.

When I read both Scriptures, Koran and Torah I see a wide difference between the two- not only rhetorically but also substantively. The Koran is almost immediately dogmatic. It sets forth right belief before it is ever established; one must submit to Islamic Monotheism and reject the theisms of Christianity and Judaism. It does this prior to communicating any self-revelation of Allah. The Koran never really tells us Who Allah is and What he has done prior to its faith-mandates. The Torah assumes God's existence but makes no such demands upon the reader. It gives a history- an account of Creation, the Fall, the Flood, Babel, Abraham, the Exodus, etc. etc.
The Torah does not immediately hurl mandates
