“n an age of Matrix movies and Harry Potter books, it doesn’t take a sociologist to prove that spiritual themes and images appear frequently in popular movies, TV shows, and music.

So how do teens deal with the spirituality in pop culture? Lynn Schofield Clark, a professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder decided to find out. Clark, the director of CU’s Teens and the New Media @ Home project, spent six years conducting 250 interviews with teens and their families.

Clark’s results are found in her recent book, From Angels to Aliens: Teenagers, the Media, and the Supernatural (Oxford, $29.95). One of her main conclusions is that different teens have different ways of playing with, incorporating, or dismissing what they see in the media. As for youth workers and parents, about the best thing they can do is talk to their teens and find out what pop culture means to them. ”

Jongen rapt over in brand steken vriendin

nu.nl/internet | Jongen rapt over in brand steken vriendin

Volgens Geenstijl.nl (en dat is een reden om het bericht te wantrouwen!) heeft de Iraaks-Friese jongen die zijn vriendin in brand stak een rap gemaakt waarin hij zijn spijt betuigt. Het nummer heb ik wel, maar nog niet beluisterd. Zoals gezegd, de bron is Geenstijl.nl en dat is niet echt betrouwbaar.

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.
