Technically the Koran passages about the veil or other forms of the hijab are pretty much spelled out in 24:31. I grew up in a community with many muslims and all became “ex-muslims” late in high school- rejecting the hijab, demanding to go to American colleges while a grandfather in Pakistan, Saudi, or Yemen wanted…

I had the pleasure of talking to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (for about 30 seconds) about his interest in steampunk and is authoritative scholarly analysis of SHERLOCK HOLMES. Does anyone here know that Kareem is considered an above average Arthur Conan Doyle expert? Like academic expert.

“True Muslims know or should know that it goes against our religion to try and force Islam on anybody.” - Not sure how to parse this statement because it’s absolutely a part of Islam to convert non-believers and to forcibly stop people born into Islam from leaving Islam. There are Shariah laws on the books in…

Again, what’s with describing Muslims as “brown?” This is a picture of Al Qaeda operative Abu Musab Al-Suri.

What looks?
I would say that about 1/4 to 1/2 of Muslims are white people and another 10-15% are East Asian. Look at Syrians- Steve Jobs or Jerry Seinfeld or Asssad or the Saudi Royal Family- Muslims are not specifically people of color and it’s bizarre when people start suggesting that they are as if Assad is not a…

Not sure if you’re trolling me or not.
The father is the one who brought the charges and described the situation to the press. He has a history of working with the press in rather outlandish ways- like arguing with that Florida pastor- therefore we must keep in mind that until there’s a trial we’re hearing the side of…

If you’re incapable of judging why the statements are meaningful I’ll walk you through them. If you’re trolling, I’m not interested.

The father may be trumping up what happened in the press because he has a history of trumping up stories. I guess I should say “trumping up” (pun intended)

This is the website from when this kid’s father ran for president of Sudan. The kid’s father is manipulating the press here- not saying that the kid’s civil rights weren’t violated, but I am saying that the father is a politician who knows a lot more about Public Relations than the average person. http://www.alislahalw…

I think their actions qualify as “there’s more to this story than meets the eye.” I’m pretty sure when he turns 21 and gets out from under his parents, there will be an interview where we learn a LOT more about this kid’s father and the kinds of actions he did.
For instance, did you know that:
The father was a Sudanese…

Have you ever been to Qatar??? They aren’t somehow nicer to other muslims there than Texas. It’s not a nice place.

If you haven’t matured by then I’d say it would be your personal failing.

Sesame Street was reacting to cultural changes in their audience.

Look at the age of Grover’s puppeteer vs Elmo’s puppeteer. I can’t believe I have to tell you that humans make these puppets move and humans get older and unable to do the work anymore.

JIM HENSON DIED AND COULD NO LONGER PERFORM!
