• “Toward a Younger, Hipper Islam”

    Updated: 2010-05-30 17:44:10
    Often immigrant Muslims and American-born Muslims think differently. The immigrant Muslims (and “imported imams”) have brought along “baggage” from their home countries and the interpretation of religious beliefs from back home. Many times, the parents try to impose their mode of thinking on their children, not realizing that children born and raised in America see [...]

  • Miss (Muslim?) USA

    Updated: 2010-05-24 02:22:22
    I didn’t watch the Miss USA pageant last week but I didn’t have to; in it’s wake, friends, blogs, and news headlines told me all I needed to know: an Arab Muslim Christian American won the title. What?! Now, I was probably as surprised as most people but maybe not for the same reasons as you. [...]

  • Draw Muhammad Day

    Updated: 2010-05-20 16:51:30
    I overheard someone say that today is “Draw Muhammad Day.” I assume that means Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him (and upon all prophets and messengers of God). Also, I assume that means draw him as in poke fun at him. Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me. It would offend billions [...]

    The above is the title of a film being shown at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 15, at the Albany Public Library, 161 Washington Ave. It is the story of a former Methodist who converted to Islam. I tried to find it on the internet and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYMKQKSV0bY The free event is sponsored by The Muslim [...]

  • What a Billion Muslims Think

    Updated: 2010-05-11 20:07:35
    If you have an hour to spare, this is a really great video. It discusses the basics of Islam and presents new (and maybe to some, surprising) statistics about the Muslim population. From Link TV: “In a roundtable discussion, host Ray Suarez interviews author Reza Aslan (No god But God; How to Win a Cosmic [...]
