Our beloved Shahed Amanullah from Altmuslim posted this rant of perfection on Muslim "silence" on some serious, very serious, matters we seem to be ignoring.

Muslim Website Says Muslims Aren't Offended By Apple Store 

 What if a Muslim in a forest complained about a New York retail outlet he'd never visited? Would it make a sound? If MEMRI weren't around, it wouldn't.

Shahed, I think you're doing a great job. I totally hear you about full time student, job and kids; I got two toddlers myself…

I remember when Ahmed and Jawad kept MWU going. One of the things that attracted me to it despite the sometimes Leftist political content was that there were smart people who didn't require I support their politics in order to have good mutual learning experiences with regard to Muslim issues and Islamic theology. I had initially deteremined to discuss only Muslim issues and disregard all political items, until people started spouting stuff about where I was deployed to, which I knew for sure to be untrue. I've liberalized quite alot because of that experience.
