Thursday's Pickings

Here’s a good trio of links which I found to be interesting and relevant today, you might enjoy them too:

1- Can Islam accommodate democracy, and can democracy accommodate Islam? An article by Benjamin Barber.

2- Why Muslim “profiling” by the FBI will disenfranchise Americans and backfire. An article by Juan Cole.

3- Review of Allegra Stratton’s book “Muhajababes,” which is an account of emerging socio-religious trends in the Arab world. A review by Laura Miller, complete with a picture of Haifa Wehbe and a profile of Amr Khaled (who was in Jordan the other day).
