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, Library of Congress, Religious Texts, Slavery, Separation of Church and State

Shadia: Islam for enlightenment, liberation
There's been a storm of controversy in the Arab and Muslim community over a recent Foreign Policy magazine article.

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, Values, Judaism, Civil Rights, Religion and Belief

Shadia: Celebrating Persian new year in CdM
'Twas the night before the last Wednesday of the year — pretty much Tuesday, bear with me.

Shadia: How it's done at a Jewish-Persian wedding
I crashed a Jewish wedding. OK, I was invited. But as a visitor from another religion, I had the same giddy sense of discovery that I might have had if I'd slipped in undetected. The experience was new for me on two levels. I had neither been to a...Tags: Entertainment, Music, Weddings, Religion and Belief, Judaism

In The Pipeline: A home for the holidays
Billy O'Connell knows how to get things done. Maybe it's the tough Irish accent, or the fact that for years he was an L.A. County sheriff. Whatever it is, when you talk to him, you understand he's a no-nonsense, take-charge sort of guy. So years ago, when...Tags: Methamphetamine (drug), Health, Animals, Abusive Behavior, Holidays

In the Pipeline: Kiwanis holds the key
One hundred thirty-five kids, at least as many volunteers, parents, workers — they all needed to be wrangled into some sort of order. So Nouha Hreish, who with her late husband Albert has run Noal Jewelry Designs for 30 years on Edinger Avenue,...Tags: McDonald's, Health, Christianity, Dentistry and Dental Health, Religion and Belief

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: Heart Attack, Weddings, Weddings, Judaism, Religion and Belief
