Not really comprehensive, and I think common sensical, but I’m discovering there is a limited amount of common sense in the world and is a non-renewable resource that is being used up at a faster rate than oil.

It looks like Captain Yee will not be charged with anything. The fifth column brush that was getting ready to paint the entire Muslim community should not be rinsed and ready to be put away. However, if you read the article, you know it’s just poised over the canvas. The choice to not prosecute Yee was not based on the lack of evidence of his guilt, but because it would be a national security risk to reveal the evidence, so they are just going to put him back on active duty. I can’t wait to come back through the looking…

Today is a slow news day. There is not too much to speak about, either that or I have to admit that I am just lazy. Here is article that would not be so interesting but for the fact that it comes out of Saudi Arabia " Another imam renounces his support for terrorists" I wonder what kind of torture this imam had to endure to change his mind. The dreaded Saudi Police probably threatened to shave him and have him acknowledge a woman. Not to be outdone in the reformation, Pakistan too, gets into the act Ulema to be…

Hi there,
I was trying to figure out how to email you, but to no avail… I figured a comment might be the best way to reach you.
I wanted to give you a quick heads up that the Sierra Club is about to release its first-ever national report on Faith and the Environment. We highlight people-of-faith in each of the 50 states who are heroes for the environment, working to protect God’s creation. I thought you might be interested in covering the emerging movement of religious communities working for environmental protection.
There are some really good stories here. One of my favorite stories is the Ursuline Sisters of Owensboro Kentucky, who are raising money to build their own Casa del Sol Environmental Education Center, a near zero energy demonstration building that will include solar technology, wind technology and renewable, recycled or reused building materials. Not what you’d typically expect nuns to be focusing on! And then there’s the Islamic Environmental Group of Wisconsin, which helped organize Interfaith Energy Awareness Month and currently works to help educate people on how to “apply the Islamic environmental teachings to their daily lives.”
Would you have any interest in covering this in “Islamicate?” If so, let me know how to reach you and I can send a copy of the report your way!
Sincerely,
