POPSReligious sensitivities on all sides The reason I'm clipping this is because religious sensitivities are back in the news and Muslims are not the only one apparently offended all the time. The other reason I'm clipping this is because I've been watching Curb Your Enthusiasm (not this episode though) and I think Larry David should have folded his show last season. The episodes in the new season are utterly ridiculous and not funny. Like Seinfeld, his show has always been brilliant though but I think he has lost it by now.

POPSAuthor attempts to convey essence of Islam, post 9/11 Interesting comment by the publisher at the source: It was my great pleasure to publish this book for Modern History Press. We only very rarely consider fiction works as part of our Reflections of America series and once I picked up Shaila's "Saffron Dreams", I knew this was a story America HAD to read. Regards Victor R.

POPSMalaysia bars Muslims from Black Eyed Peas concert Here's how I'm reading it: The government wants to promote tourism in the country but they don't want the majority citizens to participate; however, the minority can certainly help boost not only the image of the country but the tourism industry itself. Looks like the government is confused.

POPSAddressing the issue of women's rights I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. And that is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams.

POPSNo sanction for child marriage The need is to understand that what we call Sharia today includes a number of pre-Islamic Arab traditions and customary practices known as aadat (literally practices). Since the Quran was revealed among the Arabs and they were the first to embrace Islam their practices were accepted as part of Sharia law and Islamic principles had to be applied to the body of these aadat. But when Islam spread to other areas local customary laws also continued to be practised.

POPSMuslims Should Prove that Islam is a Religion of Peace I am no proponent of hate speech but below mentioned point is important and should be highlighted. However, there are Muslim scholars who have called for the outlawing of out dated practices, or implimentation of ijtihad - dynamic interpretation - within the faith.
