Funky Cars > Driving Me Crazy: The BBC's Muslim Driving School » Muslimah Media ...
[Muslimah Media Watch] At one point an imam is brought in to tell us that he thinks that Muslim women should have the right to drive and the right to work, as though these are revolutionary concepts for Muslim women or there aren’t any number of religious scholars, both today and throughout history, who haven’t agreed with these concepts. These particular women are shown as being part of a vanguard of change, a change catalyzed by the influence of British society.

It’s possible the film makers used only the bits where he’d lost his patience and interspaced them with shots of him in his pupil’s house talking about the need foragood instructor to be patient etc.

[PRI's The World: Science] Tackling the Global Organ Shortage | PRI's The World: Science: In a workshop in conjuction with Muslim imams and Muslim public, it was obvious that while Muslim patients were recipients of the organs, among Muslim public, because of certain beliefs about resurrection and human soul, there was a strong hesitation to donate. In my meeting with the late scholar Abu al-Qasim al-Khu’i in Iraq some years ago, he emphatically ruled that it was permissible to donate bodily organs and there was no problem in signing one’s driving license for that purpose.

[Anwar Ibrahim] A Landmark Shura Council at Anwar Ibrahim: In fact, Lim had during a visit by PAS president Hadi Awang in April 2008, proposed the formation of a Penang Religious Goodwill Council, a suggestion that was favourably received, only to be hit by critics from the other side of the political divide. And in his administration, he has consistently been referring to medieval Islamic leader and scholar Khalifah Umar Abdul Aziz as a model and inspiration;

[MPACUK :: Muslim Discussion Forum] From Atheism to Islam - MPACUK :: Muslim Discussion Forum: The framework for studying conversion proposed by Professor Rambo (yes it's true), because it enables the use of several disciplines and fields of study, is perhaps the most honest and workable, especially when studying conversion to Islam. He recognised that no single Western theory and no single Western academic discipline or field of study could explain it.
[Paara] Paara » Blog Archive » Babu Suseelan on Muslim fundamentalists: All of us know daily occurrences of Jihadi terrorism, Islamic homicide bombing, beheading of innocent kafirs, and organized, repetitive, regular and predictable slaughter of Muslims by Shias and Sunnis in the name of Allah. In recent months we have seen Islamic bloodshed, mass murder, beheading, and homicide bombing in all countries with substantial number of Muslims.
[Drudge Retort: ZombieHunter's blog] Netanyahu: Israel Will Never Leave West Bank | Drudge Retort: My take on the political mood in Israel these days is that they have essentially given up on the idea that there is any real "partner for peace" with Hamas and the Palestinians, so they are content to build a big wall (which has very effectively stopped all suicide-homicide bombings in Israel), and just get on with their lives. They will be criticized just as severely no matter what they do, so why put a lot of effort into this anymore (at least for the present)?

The goal is that no one profits unfairly from exploiting the work that others have done and concerning which they may need some remuneration.
[Israpundit] Israpundit » Blog Archive » Whither the “peace process”?: As part of a final peace settlement, Israel must have secure and recognized borders, which should emerge from negotiations between the parties in accordance with UNSC Resolutions 242 and 338. In light of new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli populations centers, it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949, and all previous efforts to negotiate a two-state solution have reached the same conclusion.
[FrontPage Magazine] Former Archbishop of Canterbury Cautions against Islamic ...: In America, as in Britain, left-leaning religious groups, most recently the U.S. National Association of Evangelicals, are urging more liberalized immigration laws. In Britain, the stakes are higher, with proportionally much higher levels of Muslim immigration, creating pockets of urban culture where Islamic mores prevail. Carey has joined a coalition of British parliamentarians urging sharper controls on immigration. But somewhat unlike the parliamentary group, the former head of the Church of England and the global Anglican Communion is specifically urging that immigrants affirm Britains democratic heritage.
