Mailbag: Community activism different than 'bashing'

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.

We can choose the Dead Sea or the living well
If we were to travel west out of Jerusalem we would soon find ourselves going down out of the Judean hills. Reaching the bottomlands we would be in the Jordan Valley.
