Good Muslim, Bad Muslim, Moderate Muslim?
' Just over two years ago I organized a forum of leading younger Muslim
activists at the Central University in Budapest. Among those present were
the Swiss born scholar Tariq Ramadan and the Moroccan political and social
activist Nadia Yassine. Both, in very different ways, are at the center of
the Bush Administration's confusing policy of labeling certain Muslim
religious leaders and organizations as "moderate" and others as
"extremists" and attempting to isolate or support them based on this
determination.

You Can't Fight Terrorism With Racism (Washington Post)
During my day job I work under the title of deputy editorial page editor.
That entails paying more than passing attention to articles that appear on
the op-ed page. Opinion writers, in my view, should have a wide range in
which to roam, especially when it comes to edgy, thought-provoking pieces.
Still, I wasn't quite ready for what appeared on the op-ed pages of
Thursday's New York Times or Friday's Post.

Mansour El-Kikhia: Arabs shouldn't have to apologize
I am fed up with the ceaseless requests by columnists, religious

Despite all the propaganda against Islam and Muslims Latino Muslims Growing
in Number in the US
"There are no firm figures on how many Latinos have converted to Islam,
although there is an estimate of around 40,000, a small number compared to
the overall U.S. Latino population of more than 35 million. But Latino
Muslims say they believe many more will follow in their path as they spread
the word about Islam in their communities."

The Unfeeling President:
This president does not know what death is. - He does not mourn. He doesn't

speech written for him to look solemn for a moment and speak of the brave
young Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

The Banner has been risen for Jihad inside the UK
We talk exclusively with two Islamic extremists about the London bombings.
They tell us that the so-called "covenant of security" which instructed
jihadists not to attack the UK because of the shelter it offered
dissidents, was abandoned as a result of Britain's involvement in the Iraq
War and the re-election of Tony Blair.

War Of The Phantoms:
Who Is The Secret Organization Of al-Qaeda In Europe?
While the existence of radical Muslim extremists is not questionable, what
is noteworthy is that a feeling is spreading within both Muslim public
opinion and the international public opinion worldwide that someone is
apparently riding the back of these extremists to achieve bigger goals. One
of these goals is precipitating a confrontation between the worlds two
biggest religions: Christianity and Islam.

'Settlers' or Terrorists
A wounded Palestinian schoolboy, Hilal, was lying on the ground; several
Jewish settlers keep stoning him while an Israeli soldier pretending to
protect the boy. Another settler was dropping a big stone on the boy at
point-blank range. A bearded Jewish medic hesitated to treat the boy when
he heard the Jewish settlers threatening and chanting: Let him die! Let
him die! If you treat him, we'll kill you. He turned back embarrassed,
and left. The injured [schoolboy] was laying on the ground, his face
covered with blood, losing consciousness, reported Nir Hasson of the
