Why Do The Wahhabis Hate Muslims?

Hussein Rashid: A Gay Mosque?. The recent story of a gay mosque in Paris raises conflicted feelings in me. On one hand, I recognize the need for safe spaces of worship, where people are not constantly being threatened for who they are. However, I also fear that creating a separate mosque perpetuates stigma by allowing other Muslims to avoid having discussions about what a truly devotional space could look like.

Yusuf that is. Yusuf Islam decides that music and Islam are not incompatible. Welcome to 1400 hundred years of history and tradition. Hopefully this will signal a change and maturation in Mr. Islam’s faith. I’m still working on my long post on Islam and music. I’m sure I’ll get to it soon. Link via Maryam.
