::Thanks for all your hard work. I've now copy/pasted it into the actual article. As far as I can tell, it looks great. Really glad you decided to join us.

Thanks Sahabah. I've been doing quite a bit of reading and research on the Alexander the Great / Dhul-Qarnayn story. I've even found an online google book to A. W. Budge's full translation of the Christian Syriac legend that the Qur'anic story is clearly based upon. So my immediate next plan is to beef up and significantly expand the [[Dhul-Qarnayn]] article which right now looks like it's mainly a slimmed down, copy-and-paste form the wikipedia article. I'm also planning on including rebuttals to alternative theories around the identity of Dhul-Qrnanyn and how the connection to the Alexander legend is embarrassing for Muslim scholars today. | |||
After that, I'd like to expand and rework parts of the [[Parallelism Between the Qur'an and Judeo-Christian Scriptures]] set of articles. I'm hoping we can broaden it to be more like "Qur'an and Judeo-Christian Legends and Myths" or something like that, basically broadening the topic to include other legends and stories beyond what is found in just the Bible and Talmud. I think that main page for [[Parallelism Between the Qur'an and Judeo-Christian Scriptures]] could be redone to make it more of a summary/link-to-main-article format similar to the [[Science]] page. Right now it looks kind of like a table of contents. | |||
