Why This New Fascination: The Islamic Imaginary of Modern Jewish Thought

I can't seem to shake this respiratory problem I've got, it flared up again, a mixture of bad allergies (wish it would friggin' snow, finally) and a persistent viral infection.   I think I had too much fun brawling last night, though it was hardly a heavy lift.  I'll write something later and am declaring this a troll free day, though non-trolls will have their comments posted.  The wish for more interesting or more intelligent trolls are unanswered, maybe there is no such thing.  

Till then,  here's a fascinating talk by Susannah Heschel who is one of today's most interesting lecturers on these topics.
