Taking Back The Mosque: Will It Catch On?

Asra Nomani (along with many other Muslim women and men) has a dream. The outspoken columnist and author made waves earlier this year with the story of how she took over the main prayer hall of her Morgantown, WV mosque, reclaiming for herself and all Muslim women a right that they clearly had in the 7th century.

Ask Mohja, A muslim expert on why covering up is sexy

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 Psychology of Palestinian Suicide Bombers and Israeli Paranoia

“Post-9/11, Muslim organizations have spent a lot of effort distancing themselves from the image of the Islamic suicide bomber, proclaiming �the true Islam� to be a peaceful and non-violent religion. But is this the best way to talk about terrorism and extremism to non-Muslims?”

Trouw, nieuws & achtergronden – Saoedi�rs tegen djihad, maar ook tegen regime

Saoedi�rs tegen djihad, maar ook tegen regime
door Roel Meijer
2004-06-03

Een artikel uit Trouw van Roel Meijer over Saoedi-Arabie en de strijd tussen ‘rekkelijken’ en ‘preciezen’ (als ik dat zo mag omschrijven) en de Saoedische leiders die mede door hun eigen corruptie en de noodzaak voor buitenlandse steun, daartussen gevangen zitten.

Conference on Islam & Democracy

Posted on May 30th, 2004 by martijn.
Categories: Internal Debates.

Center for the Study of Islam & Democracy (CSID), Washington, DC

The Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy wrapped up its fifth annual conference yesterday. Speakers urged Muslims to work for positive change in the world. Discussions focused also on the question whether democracy can flourish in the Middle East. Paul Sullivan of the National Defense University argued that there’s no reason that Islam and democracy can’t go together. Democracy, he said, “doesn’t have to be taught to Muslims. They know it in their hearts. The people in these countries especially desire democracy because they have done without it for so long.” And Alina Romanowski, deputy assistant secretary of defense for Near Eastern Affairs, defended the United States against the “unjust” criticism that our government supports repressive Islamic regimes by pointing to efforts to help women in Muslim countries prepare for leadership positions. I find it interesting that, at least according to the article, Romanowski doesn’t defend United States support of repressive Islamic regimes.

Moderate Islam should not be ignored
By ILAN BENJAMIN and TAMMI ROSSMAN-BENJAMIN
Militant Islam poses a serious threat to the entire world. As early as 1998, the imam and religious scholar Khaleel Mohammed, an assistant professor of religion at San Diego State University, described the way in which xenophobic interpretations of the Koran are being used to legitimize the anti-Semitic and anti-Western animus of Osama bin Laden and others like him. Mohammed is calling for a return to a more tolerant and authentic Islam. This call has, ironically, itself been labeled as a racist attack on Islam, and his important and timely message ignored.
