The conclusion of the Agreement has to be seen primarily in the context of Spain's democratization process and in relation to various historical events commemorated in 1992, namely, the anniversary of the "discovery" of America and of the decree of the expulsion of the Muslims and Jews signed by the Catholic kings. With the Agreements concluded in 1992 concerning religious minorities, Jews, Evangelicals and Muslims, the government was re-reading and re-writing the legacy of a unique national identity made up by historiography, a historiography which had been promoted by the State since the 19th century and was based on an essentialist reading of history deeply influenced by the Catholic Church, linking religious identity with national identity.3 Nevertheless, this Catholic influence re...
Finally, an important Muslim international leader has said that the proposed mosque 21/2 blocks from ground zero should be relocated. Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal called for relocating the mosque in respect of the memory of those killed on Sept. 11, 2001. He points out that building there only "agitates the wound.

He had just returned from the United States with a degree from Columbia in anthropology, and was putting his considerable talent and energy into making a new, democratic Somalia. Thus when Siad Barre led a coup and became dictator, Mr. Magan was outraged and began working against him. In time he was arrested and thrown into prison, leaving his wife and three small children in care of her mother.

About 50 people converged on Freedom Plaza for the "March Against Terror," an event organized by Free Muslims Against Terrorism, supporters of freedom and democracy in the Middle East and the entire Muslim community.
At first glance, Turkey appears to be behaving like a spurned lover.

I see this as a pragmatic move that is both a response to anti-Turkish feelings in the European Union and an attempt to advance Turkey's interests in a changing region.
Moral vacuum at the top In his opening remarks to last week's congressional hearings on radicalization in the Muslim-American community, Rep. Peter King, R- N.Y., made it very clear that his primary concern was the role of the leadership in that community, not the rank-and-file American Muslim.
