Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Liberals can also be fundamentalists

Yasmin Ataullah thinks she understands herself and knows who she is: I do not believe that being English and being Muslim are mutually exclusive; I felt and still feel as English as my non-Muslim friends.”. At the same time however she does not “understand the intolerance that is becoming more pervasive and which, just across the Channel, has led to the banning of the hijab in schools.”

“Using terror to reverse the French hijab ban is unforgivable. But the ban was also an act of fanaticism “

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.

Youth know of Allah only in the
context of �Allah will punish you,� for such-and-such an action

“It is our sincere hope that parents and community members make it a priority to begin to have a dialogue with the youth in order to develop some collective strategies to address this topic. Through more dialogue, more research, and the direct involvement of the youth in both, in sha� Allah, we might be able to do justice towards resolving the challenges confronting the youth today as well as the coming generations.”

Ayse Saktanber will elaborate on the islamic youth culture as a cultural and political phenomenon in Turkey. Since 1923 Turkey is a secular state in which religion and politics are separated. Lately this secularism is under pressure by the islamic youth movement that wants a more important role for islam in public life and attributes great value to an islamic lifestyle.
