Another View on Headscarves and Islam By Asra Q. Nomani and Hala Arafa, the Washington Post

“Please do this instead: Do not wear a headscarf in “solidarity” with the ideology that most silences us, equating our bodies with “honor.” Stand with us instead with moral courage against the ideology of Islamism that demands we cover our hair.” Asra Q. Nomani and Hala Arafa

“Dear Justice Scalia: Here’s what I learned as a black student struggling at an elite college” By Afi-Odelia Scruggs

By Brian Murphy December 16
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — “Say the name Joshua Van Alstine in Saudi Arabia and the likely response is a blank stare.

But mention his Web-born persona, Abu Muteb, and chances are good that you will get a knowing nod or a wry smile for the baby-faced American military brat. He slings Saudi­accented Arabic, wears traditional Arabian robes, mixes comedy and commentary, and may be one of the Arab world’s most improbable celebrities.”
