Commentary: Columnist's grasp on history is shaky
Almost always, I read Mona Shadia's columns with bemusement and incredulity. Her mixture of Islamic religious advocacy and sheer naïveté is mostly harmless drivel, like the rest of what is printed in the Independent. Yet what she writes and how she...Tags: Islam, Religious Texts, Arts and Culture, Family, Slavery

Shadia: God means love in Islam too
There are so many lies that get circulated online about Islam that are sometimes printed and repeated as if they're facts. Some of them really amuse me, especially the one about how Muslims believe in the "Moon God, Allah." We know Allah is Arabic for...Tags: Islam, Human Interest, Religious Texts, Religion and Belief

Mailbag: Bicyclists, motorists make for a dangerous mix
The Newport Beach Citizens Bicycle Safety Committee should include at least one member who does not ride a bicycle on the streets of Newport Beach for recreation or commuting.

Shadia: Pakistani women work for peace
Last week in Irvine, I met real-life superwomen. They manage to stay under the radar of extremists and have found a magical way to moderate, even eliminate, radicalism in some parts of their communities. Amn-O-Nisa, or Women for Peace, is an...Tags: Pakistan, Journalism, Islam, Religious Texts, U.S. Embassy

Shadia: Islam's influence on the Founding Fathers
Even though I wasn't born or raised here, there's a reason I feel at home in America. America's principles align with Islam's teachings. In fact, America's principles are not just based on Judeo-Christian values, but Judeo-Christian-Islamic values. After...Tags: Islam, Arts and Culture, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Thomas Paine, Religious Texts

Shadia: Extremists don't speak for everyone
A variety of things enrage me about some so-called Muslims. Sometimes those things are so atrocious that I can't fathom how these people (or governments) count themselves as Muslim. You might know what I'm talking about. It's the violent protests...Tags: Human Interest, Islam, Religious Texts, Cairo (Egypt), The New York Times

Mailbag: For tickets, all you need is luck
I read your article in the Independent on the battle of the Beatles and the Stones on Saturday morning ("The battle of Beatles, Stones," City Lights, Feb. 16).

Shadia: My kind of Islam
Unlike Muslims who were born and raised in America, I thankfully didn't have to go to Sunday school to learn about my religion. Born in the '80s, I grew up in a place where my religion was part of the society and the community in which I lived in. I...Tags: Abusive Behavior, Science, Islam, Cairo (Egypt), Religious Texts

On Faith: Focus on retrospection rather than resolutions
It's that time of the year again. After the holiday decorations have been taken down, the old-time ritual of the New Year's resolutions list is posted to the refrigerator. What's on your list this year? For most people, it is probably a reprinted list...Tags: Human Interest, Islam, Religious Texts, Customs and Tradition, Physical Fitness and Exercise
