Hi Toddy1
I am mostly fine; just getting older, and sometimes wiser. As always I have different ideas on the go, but find I have to prioritise time, so some things take a while to get finished. One of the great things about Wikipedia is that it is mind-expanding. I find I have to order through the mail and read books that would otherwise never have heard of to understand what issues are about. Some things I want to do, I start, but through reading and trying to work out a solution I discover that the problem is more complex than I imagined, and in some cases that it is beyond my present ability to solve. In some cases I discover that the people I firmly believed were wrong, were actually right or partially right.-- Toddy1 (talk) 15:14, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

- Toddy1 I have been going through the same process. Its like going on a very long journey. I guess life is also journey too, you learn and try to improve your self and your understanding of the world. Toddy1 I have also gone through thousands of books. I started off in The London School of Oriental and African Studies library and the British Library and I then ended up crossing continents in search of books. You find a book and then you discover that you need to search for another ten. I spent the last three 5 years in search of books. Its like being a detective. The important thing is that you keep an open mind. Many of the books that we look for are also very old, therefore its even harder to find them and its like looking for a diamond in a diamond mine. Toddy1 I must say that it does gives you a better understanding of the world. You also discover how people manipulate history to financially benefit them selves. The same story gets changed, manipulated and re-told differently over time. Molded to suite the interests of each story teller. --Johnleeds1 (talk) 21:42, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

I started work on the Succession to Muhammad page [1] a few years ago and then stopped because there were a lot of contradictions in the various texts. And a lot of politics. So I have been digging around. Do you know much about this subject. --Johnleeds1 (talk) 22:57, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- Have you ever read a book called Ali and Mu'awiya in Early Arabic Tradition: Studies on the Genesis and Growth of Islamic Historical Writing Until the End of the Ninth Century, by Erling L Petersen? It is worth reading. The real-life Ali and the Ali of much later traditions were very different.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:14, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

- Sounds interesting, I will have a look at it --Johnleeds1 (talk) 23:10, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Your Missionary Activity

- No. I suspect that both edits were by you.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:58, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
