"US Latinas seek answers in Islam," heralds a recent feature article in The Christian Science Monitor (December 27). "Some young US Latinas say Islam offers women more respect," reports the paper's contributor Christine Armario. She quotes a head-scarved immigrant convert as saying that Muslim men "don't look at you like a sex object." According to Ms. Armario's account, "Many of the Latina converts say that their belief that women are treated better in Islam was a significant factor in converting." The report mentions in passing the skepticism that these conversions sometimes elicit in the Latino community, but then goes on...

(IsraelNN.com) All air force operations such as the counter-terrorism aerial strikes over Gaza last night are filmed by a drone pilotless aircraft. After a day of PA accusations and condemnations from the international community, the IDF revealed the unedited film of last night’s so-called “massacre” in Gaza. The film shows without a doubt that when both sets of missiles were fired at a vehicle occupied by Hamas terrorists [who were on their way to an attack], there were no more than 2-3 persons in the area. The film shows that after the firing of the first missile, the vehicle was...

Organizers of an upcoming Islamic event in London dealing with the events of Sept. 11 2001 are reacting angrily to charges that the event is more of a celebration than a conference. A poster promoting the event, scheduled for Sept. 11 2003, features pictures of the 19 hijhackers, whom it promotes as "The Magnificent 19." Despite the apparently laudatory comments of the hijackers by Al-Muhajiroun, the radical Islamic sect based in London promoting the event, an official statement from the group insists that the upcoming event is not a celebration. To categorize it as such, the document insists, is just...

Muslim spiritual and intellectual leaders contributed new perspectives on the current production of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children in a panel discussion last night. While Rushdie has misrepresented Islam in the past and offended many worshippers, they said, the Muslim community is cautiously optimistic that the sensitive and critical atmosphere of the current Midnight's Children production may help to repair the past damage.

What we don't know can hurt us What the press teaches about Islam and other religions is not nearly as important as what it leaves out of its reportingBy Marvin Olasky Last year WORLD examined the treatment of Christian conservatives in the press. This year, with the war in Iraq, the slant of stories about Saddam Hussein and the effort to stop him is significant. But it's even more important over the long run that our press educators alert us to the warlike propensities of a large chunk of Islam, not just an extremist faction. Christianity has had its...

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray was in Vancouver on Wednesday challenging high school students to answer these questions: What is behind terrorist Osama bin Laden's popularity in some parts of the world, and should the United States adopt his nation-building tactics? Speaking at Columbia River High School, Murray, D-Wash., responded to questions from students, most about the war on terrorism or government spending for education. Later Wednesday, Murray visited C-Tran headquarters and checked out a new bus. Murray met at Columbia River with world history students and student government leaders.

The notion of a U.S. senator singing the praises of Osama bin Laden is too far-fetched to take seriously, right? Wrong. Here's the Columbian of Vancouver, Wash., describing a speech by Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.) to a group of southern Washington state high-school students: Murray concluded the session by challenging the students to consider alternatives to war. "We've got to ask, why is this man (Osama bin Laden) so popular around the world?," said Murray, who faces re-election in 2004. "Why are people so supportive of him in many countries . . . that are riddled with poverty? "He's...

When Israeli troops stormed Bethlehem last week, they seized an unlikely suspect on Israel's most-wanted list: Jala Abu Ajamia, a 17-year-old schoolgirl with no record of violence or political activism. At least a dozen soldiers entered her home in the Dheisheh refugee camp at 3 a.m. Friday. After capturing Abu Ajamia in her pajamas, they searched the house and questioned relatives for five hours, then handed her over to Israel's Shin Bet security service. Abu Ajamia attracted Israeli scrutiny in a most unusual way by complaining about an arranged marriage to a 27-year-old cousin. The teenager, who was then 16,...

"The disease of apologetics." That's what he calls it. "For a century, Muslims have seen their primary function as defending Islam. Not to honour Islam by critically engaging it and rethinking it and making sure that it remains viable and moral and humane, but to defend it. "They see their role primarily as marketing agents, as cheerleaders, offering the same old excuses, attributing the problems to culture or customs or colonialism or Orientalism."The speaker is Dr. Khaled Abou el-Fadl, professor of law at UCLA. The Kuwait-born and Egyptian-trained Arab scholar and prolific author has emerged as a prominent Muslim dissident...

The West will never "reach the level of Islam," and Western society will be "transformed" through an "external or cultural invasion" by Islam, according to two Islamic leaders in Great Britain.

The interviews, translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, provide insights...

We've come along a bit since 9-11. In late June 2002, I was flying from New York to Toronto, and two gentlemen of much facial hair and full-dress Islamic attire were seated at the gate area ready to board. Shortly after 9-11 their neo-terrorist appearance might have occasioned screams of protest, or at least a muffled moan or two, from the other passengers. Now there were just curious glances. I was seated opposite them in the gate area and, when we boarded, it turned out we three were seatmates in one of the back rows. As a journalist, I wanted...

Lying is cultural trait of Arabs, says Barak Brian Whitaker in Jerusalem Thursday May 23, 2002 The Guardian Palestinians have no compunction about telling lies and see truth as irrelevant, the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak has claimed in an interview.

In a press briefing Thursday, IDF Intelligence Officer Colonel Miri Eisen screened a four minute tape of a staged Palestinian funeral photographed by an Israeli drone flying over Jenin on Monday, April 28.

The funeral took place between the area that was destroyed in the Jenin refugee camp and the nearby cemetery. The Palestinians, Col. Eisen said, sought "to show as many casualties as possible were buried inside Jenin. They tried to falsify evidence in preparation...

The government’s jailing of terrorism witnesses for a grand jury probe of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is unconstitutional, a federal judge concluded Tuesday in dismissing a perjury case against a Jordanian college student. In a ruling that, if upheld, would have far reaching implications on the government’s approach to investigating terrorism, Judge Shira Scheindlin attacked the reasoning of Attorney General John Ashcroft. She criticized Ashcroft’s reported statement that “aggressive detention of lawbreakers and material witnesses is vital to preventing, disrupting or delaying new attacks.” Scheindlin wrote that “Relying on the material witness statute to detain people who are presumed...

BARF ALERT!!! BARF ALERT!!! BARF ALERT!!! Falling scales Arab News Editorial 20 April 2002 What is the difference between Ariel Sharon and Slobodan Milosevic, now on trial for war crimes? Apart from the fact that one killed Bosnians and Albanians while the other kills Palestinians, the answer is none whatsoever. At least, that is the answer heard across the Arab and Muslim world. Now, across the West too, the same judgment is heard. Public opinion has started to regard Sharon as a war criminal. Over the past couple of weeks, the scales have fallen from millions of eyes.

Lecturer claims media built anti-Muslim bias BY JAKE STUMP The Dominion Post Before Thursday night, hardly anyone could have thrown a spinach-eating cartoon sailor, Samuel L. Jackson and Time magazine writers all in the same boat. So did Dr. Ahmed Saifuddien, who claimed that Popeye, "Rules of Engagement" and Western journalists, among other media outlets, have helped paint a wrongful image of Muslims since the religion spread throughout Europe many years ago. Saifuddien, director of the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences in America, traced Islam's history, which he believes has contributed to present-day Muslim biases, during the final lecture...

Throughout history, religious wars have been fought in the name of different gods. The premise of the Oslo Accords was that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was not an irreconcilable religious war, but one over borders. However, the Palestinian religious leaders, all appointees of the PA political leadership, are publicly preaching that the Israel-Palestinian conflict is part of Islam's eternal religious war against the Jews. Jews are portrayed as the eternal enemies of Allah, and the killing of Jews as Allah's will. On the national level, Allah prohibits acceptance of Israel's existence and will destroy it. This ideology is preached in sermons...
