The Baha'i Studies Listserv
Basically, he questions the traditional Muslim understanding of "wahy"
Revelation and puts forward his reading that the Quran is a product of "wahy"
as expressed and articulated through the mind of the Prophet and His times,
culture, language, etc. In other words, the Prophet Muhammad was not just a
mailman passively carrying what Gabriel told Him like a stenographer. He had
input in the whole process, if I understand Soroosh correctly. He has publicly
professed anti-Baha'i feelings; but I saw about a year or two ago that he was
accused of being a Baha'i and a heretic by one of the hard line conservative
traditionalist Ayatollahs! He is familiar with Baha'i Writings, since his early
youth. If I remember correctly, he belonged to the strongly anti-Baha'i group,
the Hujjatiyyih group as young man and as a youth.
Best regards,
Iskandar

Iskandar,
How do you mean? How does he characterize the Quran and Muhammad?
