I am pro-life. I believe life begins at conception and that all life is valuable in the sight of God. I am also pro-pro-choice. I believe people who are pro-choice are created in the image of God and worthy of respect as those whom God loves, even if we don’t agree. I am also pro-Muslim. [...]

The World’s Most Typical Person – Neither Muslim nor Christian?
Posted in Christians, Muslims, World on March 7, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Apparently the world’s most typical person is not a Muslim or a Christian, which is odd since Muslims and Christians make up about 54% of the world’s population. According to this National Geographic video the world’s most typical person is Han Chinese. Watch the video and see what else is typical. You can also check out [...]

Posted in Muslims on February 20, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Are you looking for some Muslim blogs? I found a list of “50 Magnificent Muslim Blogs.” I saw it through Svend’s blog, “Akram’s Razor.” Svend and I’ve never met, but I count him as an online friend through our occasional comments and emails. I was happy to see he was listed as #2.
Similarities and Differences
Posted in Christians, Contentious Issues, Jesus Christ, Muslims, Peace, Theology on January 23, 2011 | 4 Comments »
There are many similarities between Muslims and Christians. In fact, as a follower of Jesus the Messiah, when I am with Muslims I often feel more comfortable than when I am with Americans or other Westerners. My values are much closer to an average Muslim than to a secular Westerner. We especially noticed this several [...]
Human Shields
Posted in Christians, Life, Muslims on January 10, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Muslims turned up in droves for the Coptic Christmas mass Thursday night, offering their bodies, and lives, as “shields” to Egypt’s threatened Christian community. In the days following the brutal attack on Saints Church in Alexandria, which left 21 dead on New Year’ eve, solidarity between Muslims and Copts has seen an unprecedented peak. Millions [...]

From Unity: Bismillah. Received today from rom Imtiaz Wajih: — I am a 49 year old Muslim living in London. I thought it might be a good idea to set up a Meetup group to focus on the shared ground between Christians and Muslims. We would be delighted if you could join us (even if [...]
I Pity the Ful
Posted in Muslims on December 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
As one who loved the A-Team growing up and enjoys eating ful (it’s an Arabic breakfast dish with really big beans – hard to describe to those who’ve never had it), I loved this cartoon from Abū Ilyās at Dots Under Consonants. His blog is worth checking out. He posts interesting and funny cartoons about [...]

From Amazon: Muslims have long played a central role in American history. Since the colonial period when an estimated 20,000 African Muslims were transported to America as slaves, through the early 20th century when Muslim immigrants entered the United States from the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, to the present day, Islam has been an [...]
Not an Encounter, Just Ordinary Neighborliness
Posted in Muslims, Understanding on November 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In response to one woman’s recent experiment of wearing the hijab for one month, Shazia Kamal writes: Going “under cover” as a Muslim to get to know Muslims implies that we are a closed, isolated group of individuals whose experiences cannot be known and understood unless an outsider comes in to examine us. . . Meeting a [...]
