Fatemeh Fakhraie writes about the Chesler vs. Wolf ridiculousness:
What’s most interesting about this “debate” is that neither women have qualifications that make their opinions hold weight. Phyllis “Feminist Hawk” Chelser is a notorious Islamophobe, and Naomi’s experience with the veil came from putting on Pakistani clothing (“shalwar kameez”) in Morocco. Uh-huh.

The first site of this kind I came across recently was the pretty funny doihaveswineflu.org. I think isiteid.com could be of much use in the US, although we’d probably need several versions: isiteidtomorrow.com, isiteidtoday.com and wasiteidyesterday.com

A bomb made by jail inmates to blow up Muslim prisoners came within moments of exploding outside a prayer meeting.

Here’s my question: why are they letting prisoners bring in fishing rods? I mean, *seriously*. What a spectacularly terrible idea that is…

It’s a category C prison – either people at the end of their sentences considered safe or people who have committed relatively minor offences. My mate ended up in one when he was convicted for conspiracy to burgle as part of an animal rights direct action. Prisoners sometimes attend work placements outside the prison without escort.

This week on MMW, we laud Shahina Siddiqui’s idea of “true Muslim society”, look at South Africa’s Muslim Personal Law bill and its media characterization, harp on the Guardian’s coverage of Dr. Zahra Rahnavard, and like up all the news that’s fit to print…about Muslim women.

With upcoming elections in Norway, anti-Islam and anti-immigration rhetoric increases. Sound familiar?

This week on MMW, we asked whether Canada actually cares about Afghan women, discussed the story of a Muslim woman and her guide dog pony, get hissy at Randy Cohen’s misguided NYT essay about cultural relativism, examine the shameful (and shaming) treatment given to divorced celebrities in Malaysia. We also have a link rundown and information on how you can help stop Delara Darabi’s impending execution.
If this is the case, then why are you posting up or informing us of the ignorance of others who attempted to have an intellectual debate knowing that neither could possibly understand nor make factual first perspective responses within the debate.
