In a post from Visual Peacemakers encouraging photographers visiting other cultures to “wear their shoes” there were some great points for anyone visiting another culture.

There is a new Muslim comic book superhero coming out soon. His name is Silver Scorpion. With the popularity of The 99 (who have worked with the Justice League), that isn’t so remarkable these days.

When I first entered college I studied music in the hopes of being a jazz musician. In those days jazz was my life. Now I see my love for jazz coming together with my love for Muslims. Jazz in Ramadan is a jazz festival in Istanbul taking place later this month. Istanbul is a great [...]

Justin Taylor posted some helpful remarks from Albert Mohler on the tragedy in Haiti. Too often people are quick to assume that massive disasters like the earthquake in Haiti is a sign of God’s displeasure or that God has nothing to do with such things.

I’ve only seen the trailer, but I hope I will be able to see the movie. The premise of the movie is simply someone going to 23 different countries asking the question, “What is God?” Hugh Jackman is in the video and states that if you put a bunch of religious leaders (Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, [...]
