Two students sent me links to a couple of interesting articles they found, so I thought I would share them with everyone.

Tammy Bah sent me an interesting article about a Saudi man being detained for tweeting about the Prophet Muhammad:

I think it shows how diverse Muslims are in their approaches to their religion and highlights the difference between some Muslim governments and their citizens, in this case in Saudi Arabia.

Again we see an example of reading the Qur'an out of context in order to satisfy an ideological point.  We have to be careful of what we find out there because a lot of it is simply wrong, and some of it is dangerous.
