THE latest media darling of Scandinavian politics is not only black, beautiful and Muslim; she is also firmly against the wearing of the veil.
Nyamko Sabuni, 37, has caused a storm as Sweden’s new integration and equality minister by arguing that all girls should be checked for evidence of female circumcision; arranged marriages should be criminalised; religious schools should receive no state funding; and immigrants should learn Swedish and find a job. Supporters of the centre-right government that came to power last month believe that her bold rejection of cultural diversity may make her a force for change across Europe. Her critics are calling her a hardliner and even an Islamophobe.

I call her rational, principled, and courageous.
It would also be interesting to know what elements of Islam she has chosen to retain as a basis for continuing to describe herself as a Muslim. Any true reform from within, if it is possible, must begin with those capable of accurately recognizing what elements of Islam can be retained without perpetuating hostility towards Western values.

Dear Sirs, Madams or Undecided: 0
Ahalan wa Sahlan 1 and Alhamdu lillah 2 yubba dubba doo for your presence here in the Windy City. We are honored that you have graced us with your exalted and Holy residence. Please forgive this filthy kafir for my ineptitude, I'm a bit nervous since I've never written to a Real Sheikh before. I was wondering where you hide the harem and how you can afford the camel parking permits in Lincoln Park but we'll leave that for later.
An AP report today from BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. military spokesman says there has been a 22 percent jump in attacks during Ramadan
Isn't this your "Holy" month of Prayer and Fasting dudes?
The Quran mentions it as the highest quality of a Muslim:
"The most honorable among you in the sight of God is the one who is most
God-conscious." (49:13)
Humility, modesty, control of passions and desires, truthfulness, integrity,
patience, steadfastness, and fulfilling one's promises are moral values which
are emphasized again and again in the Quran. We read in the Quran:
"And God loves those who are firm and steadfast." (3:146) 1
"And vie with one another to attain to your Sustainer's forgiveness and to a
Paradise as vast as the heavens and the earth, which awaits the
God-conscious, who spend for charity in time of plenty and in time of
hardship, and restrain their anger, and pardon their fellow men, for God
loves those who do good." (3:133-134)
"Establish regular prayer, enjoin what is just, and forbid what is wrong;
and bear patiently whatever may befall you; for this is true constancy. And
do not swell your cheek (with pride) at men, nor walk in insolence on the
earth, for God does not love any man proud and boastful. And be moderate in
your pace and lower your voice; for the harshest of sounds, indeed, is the
braying of the ass." (31:18-19)
In a way which summarizes the moral behavior of a Muslim, the Prophet (PBUH)
said:
"My Sustainer has given me nine commands: to remain conscious of God,
whether in private or in public; to speak justly, whether angry or pleased;
to show moderation both when poor and when rich, to reunite friendship with
those who have broken off with me; to give to him who refuses me; that my
silence should be occupied with thought; that my looking should be an
admonition; and that I should command what is right."
Mohammed (Piss be upon him) knew he has done the right thing:
Bukhari 4:52:220 Allah's Apostle said "I have been made victorious
with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)"
Is this your idea of right - and how about praying that Rosary?
Praise the Lord and God Bless America,

0 Sexual Identity are now accepted at De Paul and general neutral bathrooms are next to accommodate the Gay Muslims just like the University of Chicago
1 Muslims have historically had severe difficulties with erectile dysfunction
Another enlightenment fundamentalist eh?
I wonder how long would it take for Nyamko Sabuni to get a fatwah on her head.
Epaminondas,
Interestingly enough, Ayaan Hirsi Ali used to belong to one of the most militant branches of Islam. Now she's fundamentally against Islam.
