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.

Muslim WakeUp! has an interesting article on East Turkestan. I thoroughly enjoyed the article, and had a few thoughts that I posted in the comments, and which I am including here in the entirety. I’m doing this re-publication because I need it to set-up a post I’m working on regarding Shi’ism. A very well researched piece, thank you for sharing. I have two comments on it that I’d like to share. You mention that racial divisions in Islam did not really exist until the colonial period, and I’m not sure that is as true as you indicate. In S. H.…

I admit that I have not been following the immigration debate as closely as I should have. The issue seems to be a watershed event and raised the spector of a new political force, even though the majority of the people interested in this issue cannot as yet vote. This country was founded by immigrants and has become wealthy on the back of immigrants. I am not sure how much of the debate is centered on economic and social issues and how much is plain xenophobia. Certainly since 9/11 the lens by which view immigration has changed. Is this the…

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,
