"Inside Islam: Faith vs. Fanatics:" Canada - Women

Okay - what about women and Islam? Adultery should be punished by stoning or lashing. That's perfectly okay, the imam said: After all, he went on, Jesus said "let him who is without sin cast the first stone." (I know: but that's what the imam said.)

Remember - November 1979, gunmen in Mecca stormed the stone that's Islam's holiest shrine. They were dislodged, but the Saudi government had made a deal with the Wahhabi leaders, agreeing to finance their projects, as long as they did their work outside Saudi Arabia.

That's when a boom of mosque-building started, worldwide.

Blogroll

Note! Although I believe that these websites and blogs are useful resources for understanding the War on Terror, I do not necessarily agree with their opinions. 1 1 Given a recent misunderstanding of the phrase "useful resources," a clarification: I do not limit my reading to resources which support my views, or even to those which appear to be accurate. Reading opinions contrary to what I believed has been very useful at times: sometimes verifying my previous assumptions, sometimes encouraging me to change them.

Even resources which, in my opinion, are simply inaccurate are sometimes useful: these can give valuable insights into why some people or groups believe what they do.

In short, It is my opinion that some of the resources in this blogroll are neither accurate, nor unbiased. I do, however, believe that they are useful in understanding the War on Terror, the many versions of Islam, terrorism, and related topics.
