A review, on an Anglican site, of a book written by a Muslim woman from the point of view of a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl growing up in Australia who has just decided to veil. Reviewed as a good coming-of-age story for religious teenagers of any type. Sounds kind of interesting.

  be a village.”

  Christians to speak out now or lose the authority to speak. “I am telling
  you, Islam is spending in Uganda and in other places, it is money from the
  Arab World,”
- “Who is the leader in the Christian world? There is no
  leader.”

- Emily Sapp said the "Islam is of the Devil" statement was aimed at the religion's beliefs, not its members.
  "The people are fine," she said. "The people are people. They can be saved like anyone else."
- He added that his children decided it was time to "stand up for what they believe instead of saying the rules might not let me do it" and said that society has grown "so tolerant of being tolerant" that free speech is eroding.
