Dumping of the Links

Can Islam Change? I would have liked it better if he asked “Can Muslims Change,” but the points are still interesting. I am loving Bollywood Muslim. The Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan al-Muslimin) in the US. Ohio Muslims engaged in the process. Michael Muhammad Knight on Progressive Islam. (I agree with him on CAIR and ISNA). Reconstruction and Planning Kabul. [PDF] Don’t stop Batman, stop the Brownie. A take on the second debate that I never would have had. Dishoom.

I am Bob Herbert

Procrastinating and found this link via Shirei_Shibolim. I’m Bob Herbert and quite happy with that comparison. I don’t normally post this sort of thing, but I like the comparison, and I needed some levity. You are Bob Herbert! You’re not the most sparklingwriter, but one of the most solid and selflesson the Op-Ed staff. You focus on New Yorkpolitics, the poor, race issues, and civilliberties. You like to quote others, and rarelyplace yourself in your columns. You keep itreal. Seriously. Which New York Times Op-Ed Columnist Are You? brought to you by Quizilla

The Cordoba Initiative

I would like to direct your attention to the Cordoba Initiative. Although their tagline “Improving Muslim-West Relations” would have you think that they are unaware of the last generation of civilizational debates and identity politics, they actually show a lot of potential. There are some good people working there and their contacts are deep. Poke around, have fun, and tell them to change their tagline. The best part is that they promise to be a media portal. If they would only supply donuts, I would be truly happy.
