re: kamran rastegar: your response is 100% elitist bullshit.  this list is awash with whining and clamoring about NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ISLAM, ISLAM IS ALWAYS MISREPRESENTED IN THE WESTERN PRESS, BLAH BLAH mother effing BLAH.  all the stupid baseless mindless conspiracy theories we have to wade through.  so something is presented to counteract those claims, but it's still presented with skepticism, "salon calls this interviewee an 'expert on the roles of women in islam' but is she?  help us understand."  what on earth is the connection between geraldine brooks and jerry falwell??? what the hell does the snotty line about "spotting islam" mean?   you put people down for knowing nothing about islam, then insult them again when they try to learn.

so quit the whining.  if you want people to understand then engage, teach, share. in the meantime, i'll be happy to quit posting positive western depictions of islam to the list if you quit bitching about how there's nothing but negative depictions about islam in the western press.  deal?
