Whenever I see pictures or clips of fashion shows I find that I often think, “That is so ugly. Who, in their right mind, would ever go out in public wearing that?!” When I saw some pictures of the 2010 Islamic Fashion Festival in Kuala Lumpur I realized that Muslims design bad clothes too. I guess [...]

Muslims Against Terrorism
Posted in Muslims, Terrorism on November 17, 2010 | 10 Comments »
We all know that some Muslims are terrorists. And we all know that most are not (at least we should know). One of the most common questions I get from American non-Muslims is why moderate Muslims don’t speak out against terrorism. Here is a video from Muslims in Minnesota doing just that.

Porkophobia
Posted in Islam, Muslims on November 17, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Altmuslim has a really interesting piece by Jalees Rehman on the culture of disgust towards all things pork in Muslim culture. He notes, “I have virtually never seen anybody who refers to himself or herself as a Muslim ever eat pork. But what is most puzzling, however, is that this simple dietary law has lead [...]

Mecca looks very different today than it did in 1885. Check out the story at CNN. You can also see the photos at The Empty Quarter website. There is even an audio recording from 1885 that you can hear on the CNN slideshow.

Dozens of Assyrian Christians were killed by Al Qaeda terrorists in Baghdad last month. This past week the Assyrian community in Chicago marched in support of their Assyrian brothers and sisters in Iraq. Also at the rally was a group of Muslims. These Muslims were marching with Christians in support of those killed in Iraq. [...]
Does Muslim = Arab?
Posted in Arabs, Muslims on November 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I often encounter people who assume that all Arabs are Muslims or seem to think that all Muslims are Arabs. Neither are true. There are Arab Christians and Arab Jews (and I’m sure there are Arabs who aren’t religious at all). Arab Muslims don’t even make up the majority of Muslims (the largest Muslim country [...]
Muslims Vocally Supporting Christians
Posted in Christians, Life, Muslims on November 5, 2010 | 1 Comment »
From Islamicate: Muslims in Egypt from all shades of the theological spectrum are speaking out against al-Qaeda in Iraq’s anti-Christian declaration: “But instead of turning against Christians, calls to protect them echoed from throughout Egypt’s Islamic community. “‘This is something to be rejected and strongly denounced, and it serves none but those who want to spark [...]
