‘Spotlight,’ the Institute for Islamic Education: Sexual Abuse Cases Across Faith Communities

Last updated on: January 18, 2016 at 4:02 pm By Dilshad Ali

When you’re a poor kid from a poor family, and when a priest pays attention to you, it’s a big deal. How do you say no to God? – “Spotlight” Ever since I saw the trailer months and months ago to when it finally opened, Spotlight was a movie I had to see for two reasons: It focused on the tremendous investigative journalism work done by the Boston Globe’s Spotlight team – a throwback to the kind of journalism I...

Religion, and Islam, Up Front and Center in Pres. Obama’s Last State of the Union Address

Last updated on: January 12, 2016 at 4:39 pm By Dilshad Ali

He’s got nothing left to prove, nothing left to lose. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to hearing what President Obama has to say in his very last State of the Union Address. And, judging from the line of VIP and other guests, religion will be up front and center. Two employees of CAIR (Council on Islamic-American Relations), an organization viewed with suspicion by the government in the past, will be there at the invitation of lawmakers... Read more

A Blow to Christian-Muslim Interfaith Unity – Wheaton College Moves to Fire Prof. Larycia Hawkins

Last updated on: January 7, 2016 at 5:44 pm By Dilshad Ali

I am flummoxed and flabbergasted by the events of the last two weeks. – Professor Larycia Hawkins Wheaton College has begun the process of firing Professor Larycia Hawkins over her statements about Christians and Muslims worshiping the same God, after she donned a headscarf to show solidarity with Muslims at the start of December.

The 2015 Top Viewed Posts on Patheos Muslim – Perhaps Not What You Think They’d Be!

Last updated on: December 24, 2015 at 3:25 pm By Dilshad Ali

In the last five years of managing the Muslim Channel at Patheos, I’ve tracked and produced articles and op-eds on the biggest issues Muslims in America and beyond are discussing, living, engaging in and battling over. That comes on top of nearly 10 years before that of working as a journalist and editor on the “Muslims in America” beat for other websites and publications. So, I have a fairly good idea of what stories and issues will be big, what... Read more

Please Do (If You Want) Wear the Headscarf in the Name of Interfaith Solidarity

Last updated on: December 22, 2015 at 1:28 am By Dilshad Ali

My sister-in-law called me up out of the blue last week, talking to me for 20 minutes in a breathless catch-up of things going on in the nation, in the world, about the current climate for Muslims and Muslim women, about what I was hearing and covering through work, about our daughters, about something that just had happened to her that day: A friendly colleague where she worked (she’s a teacher and just joined a new school a few months...

Wheaton’s Big Misstep in Muslim-Christian Show of Solidarity

Last updated on: December 16, 2015 at 10:34 pm By Dilshad Ali

Is the question really about whether Islam and Christianity can identify with each other? Or if Allah is the same as (or similar to) the God? Or if a political science professor at a private liberal Christian evangelical college has the right to don the hijab (head scarf) for Advent in solidarity with Muslims? Or if wearing that hijab is the right demonstration of solidarity with Muslims and Muslim women? Let’s backtrack a bit. Professor Larycia Hawkins, a political science... Read more

It’s all largely behind the scenes work – watching what the latest news stories are, covering the issues Muslims in America are facing, facilitating discussions, talking with the writers and bloggers on my channel,...

World Disability Day – A Blip On Our Screen as We Get On with Our Autism Living

Last updated on: December 7, 2015 at 2:26 pm By Dilshad Ali

It seems like every day is a “Designated Day,” marked so as to draw awareness to a cause, illness, culture, group of people or what have you. Sometimes they scroll by so fast on my news feed that I miss things, like December 3 was World Disability Day. What does that mean? World Disability Day? According to Daysoftheyear.com: Disability Day, or the International Day of People with Disability, is a day that has been promoted by the United Nations since 1992. The aim... Read more

Lead with Love

Last updated on: November 19, 2015 at 5:17 pm By Dilshad Ali

The whole week’s been a rather downward spiral, starting with the horrible attacks in Paris and Beirut. The continued violence in Syria, Iraq, Myanmar and so many places around the world. The evil known as Daesh, or ISIS. And the ensuing, predictable yet scary, Islamophobia that has followed. All on top of a huge backlash against Syrian refugees. But that’s another post. But life keeps on moving, and the things we commit to — our families, jobs, children, activities, volunteer... Read more
