Shadia: 'Taraweh' is Muslims' opera
The other night I struggled to come up with a simple way to describe the magnitude of "taraweh" — the extra prayers performed nightly during Ramadan. And then an enigmatic Muslim poet I know compared it — perfectly — to opera. There'...Tags: Religious Texts, Holidays, Religion and Belief, Ramadan, Islam

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: Separation of Church and State, Religious Texts, Belief and Faith, Family, Religion and Belief

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: Religious Texts, Religion and Belief, Islam, Human Interest

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: Washington, DC, Hillary Clinton, Religious Texts, Journalism, Religion and Belief

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: Civil Rights, Justice and Rights, Religious Texts, Family, Arts and Culture

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: Twitter, Inc., Religious Texts, Cairo (Egypt), Unrest, Conflicts and War, Religion and Belief

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: Ethics, Abusive Behavior, Religious Texts, Cairo (Egypt), Religion and Belief
