		<description><![CDATA[Obama is constantly being likened to various &#8220;terrorist&#8221; figureheads: by being called Barack Osama or by intentionally using his middle name, Hussein, to liken him to another of that name. He is also often linked (rightly or wrongly) to Muslims (he was educated in a predominately Muslim country, but not at a religious school). Recently, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When considering the common elements of Islam and Christianity, &#8220;Jesus&#8221; is perhaps not the first thing to come to mind (at least not to Western Christians). The theological overlap and differences are highlighted in a movie that is being touted as the &#8220;Iranian Passion of Christ.&#8221; ABC has an interview with film creator Nader Talebzadeh: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t really feel that I&#8217;ve been pulling my feminist weight around here recently (and that big long post about American Gladiators really rose from my husband&#8217;s comment; I expanded it because I wasn&#8217;t certain all our dear readers knew what AG was). And that really also means I&#8217;ve not been pulling my blogging weight [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a feel good story for today: a skinny Muslim student from Bangladesh intervened as a gang yelling anti-Semitic slogans was pummeling three Jews.  His involvement cost him two black eyes, stitches and what I&#8217;m sure must have been considerable pain, but it gained one of the other victims enough time to call the police.

		<description><![CDATA[I ran across this article today about how religion shapes language shapes attitude. It relates to the Arabic word/phrase &#8220;inshallah&#8220;, which my coworker explained as &#8220;if God wills it&#8221; but which can be used for many things. This article discusses how it is seeping into American consciousness &#038;, perhaps, changing our attitude. I know I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>
