Joi Ito has posted something about making information available on the web. He mentions Ismail Serageldin, who was involved (I don’t know if he still is) with the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, which of course has relations with ArchNet, which has a great on-line library.

May this season bring joy and happiness to all. It is an important holiday season for many religious traditions this month, not just the Children of Abraham. Please see Rachel’s post, and follow the Tent of Abraham link. Tonight begins Ramadan for me.

Multiplicity and Diversity Are the Future of Islam in America
Multiplicity and Diversity Are the Future of Islam in America. The idea of writing about the future of Islam in America is more than daunting. At nearly 2 percent of the U.S. population, covering all fifty states, with histories stretching back hundreds of years, and representing nearly every Muslim community in the world, there does not seem to be a unified future. And that there is no one future is in fact a blessing and a potential, which perhaps should be the future to be celebrated.

Ismail no longer serves on the Master Jury or Steering Committee of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, but in the 2004 cycle, he represented the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which one an Award. As the Steering Committee and Master Jury changes each three year cycle, there is nothing stopping Ismail from serving again.
