Islamist Reform [updated]

Here’s a link from the New York Review of Books on current books trying to frame the current debates in the Muslim (mostly Arab) world. I give credit to the author for attempting to make sense of such a broad topic. For such a short piece, I think he does a good job. However, the piece is too short for a real understanding of the issue for non-specialists. Still, a read worth noting. Update: Found another good summary of some of the issues involved in Islamism.

IIA – Teaching Islam

Sorry. Got caught up helping with the conference. Couldn’t take extensive notes for the blog. Hopefully Sam I Am will be post some notes.

  1. I only know a few Hip-Hop Hoodios tracks, but I like what I’ve heard. I wish I lived closer to the City and could make this gig — it sounds like a lot of fun… 🙂

  2. They do sound really interesting. It’s times like this I miss the big city. The only time we get culture up in Boston is when the Yankees come to town.

  3. I just downloaded “Raza Hoodio” (legally) and “Havana Nagila.” OMG, I’m in heaven. Going to get the album. Yiddish and Spanish on a Bollywood beat. I really miss NY more than ever.
