I was approached by a very dear friend of mine who needed help in debunking some utterly false and downright hateful claims made by Christian Evangelical, Franklin Graham, in an interview which recently aired on CNN. I'll spare you the excruciating pain of actually watching the interview, so I've outlined his main "points" below and will attempt to respond to each of them with credible references from the Qur'an and Hadith - the only true sources for Islamic jurisprudence.

By now, we've all seen or at least heard about the recent South Park episode, in which the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is portrayed (in a bear suit), and the reaction it has garnered from a fringe-radical group, Revolution Muslim. Needless to say, the media's portrayal of this controversy has been sub-par, but what else is new, right? In part 1 of this 2-part post, we learn a little bit of background on the issue, as well as analyze the mainstream media's response to the controversy.

Last week, Sheikh Mohamed Sayed Tantawi, Alazhar University's top cleric, passed away of a heart attack at the age of 81. He was indeed a very controversial figure both within Egypt, as well as the Muslim world as a whole. As Egypt scurries to find a replacement for Sunni Islam's most prestigious seat of Islamic learning, many are wondering what this means for the future of Al-Azhar, its role, and whether it has been hijacked by the state. Will this be an opportunity for alternative movements to come into play? Or will it once again, be more of the same?
