  1. 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. The essay, "Why Do They Hate Us?", outlines the atrocities many Arab women suffer at the hands of men. In short, the writer posits that...

  2. 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...

  3. 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...

  7. Mailbag: Give teachers better seats at board meetings

    Thirty-five years ago, I wrote a letter to the Newport-Mesa Unified School District Board of Education arguing that the teachers' organization should have an equal place on the board dais during meetings. For those of you who have not been to a board...

  8. A birth control double standard

    In the uproar about making the morning-after contraceptive known as Plan B available to our daughters, there has been no similar outcry about condoms and our sons. Anyone of any age can walk into a drugstore &mdash; as well as most grocery and big-box stores &mdash; and buy condoms. If you want to remain anonymous, you can pay cash; no ID is required. If you're too embarrassed to face the checkout clerk, use the self-check aisle or, for $17.97, get a box of 100 &mdash; flavored or with "added sensations," even &mdash; delivered to your door in a plain brown box.

  9. Khaled Hosseini on "And the Mountains Echoed"

    Khaled Hosseini stormed the best-seller lists with his debut novel, &ldquo;The Kite Runner,&rdquo; in 2003, following it up with the even more popular &ldquo;A Thousand Splendid Suns&rdquo; in 2007. Both set in the author's native country of Afghanistan, the novels have sold more than 38 million copies internationally, including 10 million in the United States alone &mdash; a remarkable feat for a writer who began to pursue literature full time only after working for a decade as a physician. Now Hosseini, who with his family successfully sought asylum in the U.S. in 1980 following political upheaval in their homeland, is back with his beautiful, often harrowing third novel, &ldquo;And the Mountains Echoed,&rdquo; also set in Afghanistan (as well as several other locations around the world).

  11. Commencement speakers: Conservatives need not apply

    We have once again entered the college commencement season, which means we'll soon be reading about uplifting graduation speeches delivered by prominent Americans. Or at least by prominent liberal Americans.

  12. Katie Aselton, Lake Bell and Kate Bosworth survive 'Black Rock'

    The premise is familiar: Three young women on a camping trip find themselves under siege from three unhinged attackers and fight back. But what happens in &ldquo;Black Rock&rdquo; is unexpected, as rather than a more typical story of female empowerment and revenge, the film explores issues of friendship and the primal bonds that come to connect people to one another.
