Nerve.com – Ask Mohja by Sarah Harrison

“”Do we get dick in heaven?” Aunt Maryam whispers to me during the ladies� Quran study halaqa at the Jersey City Mosque. We are doing ‘The Merciful,’ the chapter of the Quran where all the sexy virgin babes are promised to men in paradise. “Men get pussy. Do we get dick?” � Mohja Kahf, writing on muslimwakeup.com

On “Sex and the Umma,” a column on the progressive Islamic website Muslim Wakeup, Mohja Kahf gives advice on premarital sex and oral technique in an unusual format: short stories. On a break from the University of Arkansas, where she teaches a class on eros in Middle Eastern literature, Kahf spoke to us about homosexuality in the eighth century and what really lies beneath the full-body covering (a miniskirt!). � Sarah Harrison”

Remember the ‘Sex and the Ummah’ feature of Muslim Wake Up? Well there is also a column with the same name from Mohja Kahf. Nerve.com has an interview with her.

The Wahhabi Threat to Islam

“It is long past time for Muslims to question the Wahhabi ideology that is pulling the rug out from under Saudi life, for it is that same ideology that has been involved in militant movements throughout the Muslim world for years.”
