RD blogger Hussein Rashid, disturbed by the silence of the American Muslim community on torture, drafted this statement. Who will sign?

Women should not be excluded from the benefits of global sisterhood because of a shalwar kameez, or a business suit, or a kaffiyeh… Or because of Islam.

“This state of affairs in Christian radio is ironically reminiscent of how Salafi media outlets and websites dominated the early years of the Islamic Internet…”

Will accommodation of Muslim family law unleash “brutal violence” and “polygamy” in England, as critics suggest?

If American Muslims do not oppose torture and participate in the conversation on American morality, they become a special interest group with little relevance. But within Islam there is a strong religious case to be made against torture.

The word Islamophobia is used so broadly that it risks losing its meaning; fear is not the same thing as hatred.

How ironic, we immigrants sigh to ourselves, that we can turn on the tap to clean water at whatever temperature we like, but we can’t put up a poster of the Holy Mosque in our cubicle.
