Islam in the News: Feb 2011

I'm so glad Islam means peace. If it meant "submission" rather than "peace" these stories might actually make sense.

1) "Hena, who was sentenced under Islamic Shariah law, was accused of having an affair with a 40-year-old married cousin, although her family and neighbors said the man had in fact raped her. The man's family beat up Hena and then publicly accused her of adultery, the girl's family said."

2) The founder of a Muslim-oriented New York television station was convicted Monday of beheading his wife in 2009 in the studio the couple had opened to counter negative stereotypes of Muslims after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
