In the days, months and years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Professor Muqtedar Khan of the University of Delaware found himself grappling with an unrelenting question of faith and identity: “If al-Qaeda, ISIS, and all the human rights violations committed in the name of Islam are not my faith,” he would ask […]

Students at a Muslim Sunday school in central Connecticut are being taught by Dr. Reza Mansoor to be “media-savvy.” In previous posts, we discussed their sadness at the way Muslims are too often mistreated by those who cannot get beyond 9/11, about their need, according to Dr Mansoor, to clear up “misconceptions” about the faith […]
At the Islamic Association of Greater Hartford, Young Muslims Coached to Handle the Media (Part 1)
A story some time ago about a mosque in central Connecticut with a 400-student Muslim Sunday school offered a house blend of victimhood and resilience. More guards are on patrol these days.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister tells ISNA convention that Islam is religion of peace and has nothing to do with terrorism
Hey, what a relief! Anyone up for a game of pinochle?

Everybody Must Get Stoned – Except Ilhan Omar
My latest in PJ Media: “Everybody must get stoned,” Bob Dylan said, but despite the fact that she has been accused of committing an offense for which Islamic law prescribes stoning, the one person to whom Dylan’s words do not apply is Rep.

Islamic State jihadi asks to be freed so he can keep other Muslims from “making the same mistake that I did”
“I accidentally joined a mafia in Iraq and Syria, maybe not a mafia, but a very bad group of people, thinking they are Muslims. If I had learned Islam properly, If I had understood I would have learned that these were a very bad group of people. I wouldn’t have been in the situation that […]
