I also received an interesting related email by an atheist whom I […]

Egypt: Hanan al-Turk’s “No Christians Allowed” Hangout Spot

Sandmonkey has the story. Thank you Muslim Brotherhood. Egyptian society is more cohesive thanks to your wonderful holy efforts and will continue to be.
Equality between women and men? Equality between Muslims and non-Muslims? Raaaight!
The place is owned by Hanan al-Turk. Big Pharaoh blogged an amusing post in the past showing her “holy transformation”. I’m guessing […]

The Holy Room

Oh my God, I swear I can’t contain my excitement. Okay, so a short while ago I was being my usual goofy self with a bunch of friends and I suddenly came up with the greatest and potentially most entertaining “Drima idea” EVER!

More Idiotic Fatwas

Grrrr!
CAIRO, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Egypt’s highest authority on Islamic law said on Thursday that drivers cannot be blamed for killing people who stand in front of their vehicles, just days after a police van ran over a woman who tried to stop it.

Denmark and Europe Might Get Their First Hijabi MP

Yup, it’s true. I’ve written about the hijab here and here. Even our beloved Danish friend, the one and only Halalhippie has. Now it might actually become a reality in the Danish parliament.

I grew up in a household that valued Islam and science (something which might seem paradoxical to a number of atheists). It wasn’t overly religious, and it wasn’t secular either. MTV and Bay Watch weren’t forbidden, yet they weren’t embraced. The focus was mainly on the spiritual aspects of Islam, for I was taught that […]
