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. Yet what she writes and how she...Tags: Belief and Faith, Slavery, Family, Religion and Belief, Islam

Shadia: God means love in Islam too
There are so many lies that get circulated online about Islam that are sometimes printed and repeated as if they're facts. Some of them really amuse me, especially the one about how Muslims believe in the "Moon God, Allah." We know Allah is Arabic for...Tags: Islam, Religion and Belief, Religious Texts, Human Interest

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, Justice and Rights, Family, Islam, Religion and Belief

Shadia: My kind of Islam
Unlike Muslims who were born and raised in America, I thankfully didn't have to go to Sunday school to learn about my religion.

Shadia: Extremists don't speak for everyone
A variety of things enrage me about some so-called Muslims. Sometimes those things are so atrocious that I can't fathom how these people (or governments) count themselves as Muslim. You might know what I'm talking about. It's the violent protests...Tags: The New York Times, Twitter, Inc., Islam, Religion and Belief, Religious Texts

Mailbag: For tickets, all you need is luck
I read your article in the Independent on the battle of the Beatles and the Stones on Saturday morning ("The battle of Beatles, Stones," City Lights, Feb. 16). My wife and I decided that we could not miss this show, since we are of that era. We called the...Tags: Music, Feminism, Religion and Belief, Saudi Arabia, Islam

Community Commentary: Shadia veils the truth on Islam
As a longtime reader of the Huntington Beach Independent, I am growing tired of Mona Shadia's weekly articles about Islam and Muslims. I am not against any religion, but why does she feel the need to try to promote her religion, and especially as a...Tags: Justice and Rights, Justice and Rights, Religion and Belief, Islam, Religious Texts

Shadia: Muslims view Christmas with more reverence than you may think
I had only been in the United States for about three months when I experienced Christmas for the first time. It made me long for the excitement of the holidays when they came around back home in Egypt — Eid ul-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan,...Tags: Religious Festivals, Christmas, Cults and Sects, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Religion and Belief

North Caucasus to Boston: Rise and fall of the Tsarnaev brothers
Anzor Tsarnaev was tough, a championship boxer back home, and he wanted his oldest boy to be tough too. Rain or shine, like a scene from "Rocky," the wiry Chechen immigrant would ride his bicycle as his son Tamerlan jogged to a Boston-area boxing gym,...
