It's a Gray Area: Muslims are the latest targets of discrimination
In so many ways, one of the biggest civil rights issues of our day is the way we treat Muslims in our country.

Shadia: The wine cork is still in the bottle
I'm a hypocrite. I'm a Muslim who drinks alcohol — except during the month of Ramadan, of course. There. I said it. I am a hypocrite. Alcohol is forbidden in Islam.

Shadia: Dishing over questions of faith
One of the reasons I enjoy a happy and fulfilling life is because of the people in it. They are a people who fear God, lead by example and strive, in their own way, for a better world.
