A moveable mosque: One young Muslim woman's daily photoblog (video)

The "30 Mosques" guys are producing some wonderful "30 Days Ramadan" videos this year that really give you a sense of what it's like to be a Muslim person in America. I enjoyed this one, featuring a young woman named Deena who loses her job, then decides chronicle her life through a photoblog. More about the project here. Subscribe to their video channel here. Deena's photoblog is here, and full of beautiful things. (thanks, Bassam Tariq!)

As we mourn the Oak Creek shootings let us take a moment to contribute to the victims of hate and rebuild a stronger, better American society of solidarity across religion and culture.

I have picked up a new small fact from this video – Muslim women are not allowed to pray during their period. https://woodturtle.wordpress.com/2011/01/15/only-women-bleed-menstruation-in-islam/
