Upload #197: fewer frustrations

"God’s Path Leads through the Caliph" got large enough that I needed to improve its argument.

I mostly wanted to sort out sura 29. "Against Jihad" is now ... well, it's longer. (I did find a 59>29 link.) The best work here is in "The Convocation for Clarity" on sura 42, which now sports a 29>42. That further constraint on sura 29's authorship at least helps understand why we still haven't found 29/51-52 correlations. And buttresses why sura 29 belongs on the early side of, say, suras 9 and 16.

And I've posted a new one: "Hanifism", on sura 98. This argues that the sura is late in the sequence, but then the Muslims already knew that. It further argues for Ubay's verse of the Hanifiya. Not for the Ibn Adam though.

Madrassa.
