Who speaks for Islam? by John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed 14 February 2008Washington, DC - Extremists and terrorism have too often monopolised the media's coverage and thus the message coming out of the Muslim world. But what do the vast majority of mainstream Muslims really believe, think, and feel? What are their hopes, fears, and resentments? Why is it that a robust anti-Americanism see...

A military statement issued on Sunday alleged that the two soldiers punched the prisoners in the chest, shoulders and stomach while they were being held in Uruzgan province in July. "The command rem...
Watchdog: Israeli military probe of Palestinian civilian casualties a sham 02:26 PM EDT Jun 22 AMY TEIBEL JERUSALEM (AP) - The Israeli military's investigation of Palestinian civilian casualties is a farce and encourages soldiers to think they can act with impunity, the New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a report Wednesday. The military said there was no basis to the charge. "All allegations claiming that innocents or terrorists h...

This article is meant to educate and inform the readers about history and facts about Saudi Arabia's history and current events that affect both non-Muslims and Muslims around the world. Saudi Arabia is home to the world's holiest cites in Mecca and Medinah and should above all be held to the highest standard of Islam and for mankind, but has failed completely on all levels to follow the Qur'an and to be a peaceful and positive force in both the non-Muslim and Muslim world that we are e...
I was shocked and outraged when I first heard of this case on the news because it was a story done so well that seemed to be a clear case of the victim being arrested for no reason. But then Iasked myself some questions and wondered if there could be more to the story? Why would the UAE and Dubai who admittedly depend on foreign investment and Western tourism which they have worked so hard to attract do this? Some less than reputable groups would gleam that "see...
William Z says: The government of Canada has about as much influence over CBC editiorial policy as I have. And since they are only picking up stuff from the wire services and reprinting it anyway, what difference does it make? ========================================================= This is factually incorrect. The CBC is a Government controlled and owned Crown Corporation, unless you are trying to say CBC is privately run and funded? In f...
I'm glad to see there are a lot of tolerant posters here. There are a lot of white supremacists who are trying to justify this. My grandparents as immigrants from China are familiar with these tactics, and so are many other groups including Indians, Italians, Ukrainians, Africans and all other minorities. I highly doubt a Hamburger was thrown, and whether it was or not is irrelevant as some said. This is a hate crime, and they didn't hide it like some...
My response to a viewpoint article from Tom Velk on CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_velk/20050805.html I agree that countries should not allow hate-mongering and other illegal activities from any people but to point the finger at every immigrant and belittle Islam while ignoring other forms of terrorism and the true causes is irresponsible and anti-Islamic in nature. Throughout the world, whether it be the news or on-line forums, people are quick to ...
Muslim men! By Tara Kasim, London I came to Vancouver to attend my cousins wedding. She’s married into an Indian Muslim family, we are a mixed bunch of people. During the wedding, we noticed some changes in my the in law’s attitude. They were so nice and welcoming, but during the Nikkah ceremony and reception, we all felt the brush off. A couple of months later, my cousin called me in England, she was calling from her friends house in Surrey. She was crying madly, so much t...
I went through an interesting experience on a forum that I enjoy reading through about my favorite car. This is the same day I read that Islamophobia is on the rise in America. (see http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/050511/w051194.html) I went through a forum where someone survived a horrific crash and actually walked away. Eventually people mentioned god must have intervened and a few people disagreed but there was no real hostility. However, one person mentioned they ...
