In Redemption of Saint Augustine and the Muslim Brotherhood
Throughout time the ideology of power has infected the original
ethos of Muslim and Christian communities in a variety of ways.
But if one looks closely, we can see grains of truth scattered
throughout the different adaptations and formulations of Muslim
and Christian theology...

Sexual Sin and the Hijab
My first real reason to live came sometime between the ages of
nine and 11. I was searching the Internet for a Calgary Flames

link. I eagerly anticipated the next Goddess. The naked lady, as if

Through the Eyes of Children
Leaders of man-made power structures will always be willing to
exploit the most vulnerable people in society (ei: children and
immigrants) for their own unquenchable desire for power and
wealth. The early Christians and Muslims defended vulnerable
people like children and made them essential to the plan of
salvation...
