Mailbag: Former councilman was Noble at heart
I had the great pleasure of being a good friend of Noble Waite during the 35 years I lived in Huntington Beach ("Noble Waite dies at age 87," June 14). Many times, I sought his advice on issues involving the city. I served as a city councilman from 1968...Tags: Christianity, Health, Religion and Belief, Islam, Crime, Law and Justice

Shadia: Islam's influence on the Founding Fathers
Even though I wasn't born or raised here, there's a reason I feel at home in America. America's principles align with Islam's teachings. In fact, America's principles are not just based on Judeo-Christian values, but Judeo-Christian-Islamic values. After...Tags: Arts, Religion and Belief, Islam, Crime, Law and Justice, Family

Shadia: Passionate music where Middle East meets the West
Music runs through my blood like the Nile River runs through Egypt. And if you know anything about Middle Easterners, Egyptians especially, you know we love our music.

Shadia: Play shows us all sides of the conflict
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict was one of the first crises I knew about growing up. And if you're Middle Eastern, Muslim or Jewish, the conflict is probably one of those things you can't escape. I would love to be able to tell you exactly what I...Tags: Religion and Belief, Islam, Facebook

Shadia: Passover a common belief for both Muslims, Jews
By now, you know that I'm a Muslim who mingles with Jews. But the other day, I took it a step further and attended a Passover Seder at my friend Jazy's home.

Film with local ties to screen at Bella Terra
Think of it as "The Bad News Bears" set to Klezmer music. Somewhat like the 1976 comedy film about the national pastime, which starred Walter Matthau as Coach Morris Buttermaker, "The Yankles" is about a washed-up ex-professional ballplayer who makes a...Tags: Christianity, Religion and Belief, Arts and Culture, Movies, Movies

Shadia: A melting down of prejudices
When you move from one country to another, culture shock is inevitable, especially when you go from one different system and culture to another.

Shadia: Dating while Muslim is complicated
I was never the girl who fantasized about Prince Charming charging in on his camel and sweeping me off my feet. When I was growing up in Egypt, education was emphasized above all else. My mom, Shadia, who never graduated from high school, always read the...Tags: Religion and Belief, Islam, Family, Weddings, Weddings

All About Food: Chicken soup for your health
It's the season to feel fluish.
Help may come from something Jewish.
