Israel hacked a popular Iranian prayer app
to send notifications to potentially millions of phones Saturday morning
urging the country’s military personnel to defect from the regime and join a fight to liberate the country,
according to people familiar with the matter.
The app, BadeSaba Calendar, is intended to help Muslims keep track of prayer times

The Unity Center Lubbock opens after 45-day elementary transformation https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/news/2026/02/16/the-unity-center-lubbock-opens-texas-tech-university-muslims-mosque…

Texas Tech student bought abandoned school to create The Unity Center
A Texas Tech medical student bought an abandoned Lubbock elementary, transforming it into The Unity Center - a community hub and mosque. Here's how.

But it's worth recognizing the most brutal elements of church violence were directed at "others": Jews, pagans, Muslims, even other sects of Christianity. The Church's persecution of "heretics" neatly folded into the state, as the diest god of "Providence," represented by the "all seeing eye" atop a pyramid, ultimately justified a violent "civilization" of indigenous people.
The "Christianization" of the crusades became "civilization,' which, more recently, became "spreading democracy." Where once Atheists resisted the crushing oppression of the Church, they used the same arguments to justify the invasion of majority Muslim nations and the oppression of Muslims at home...

Christian-Muslim Encounters and Dialogues over the Centuries: The Christian-Muslim Relationship for Bringing Peace and Harmony
The historical relationship between Muslims and Christians dates back to the seventh century C.E., when Islam began to spread throughout the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent; by the early eighth century, parts of Europe were under Muslim control. Consequently, this Special Issue seeks to understand Christian–Muslim interactions over the centuries. Recent studies of Syriac texts reveal early interactions between Christians and Muslims, the beginning of centuries of Christian–…

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

Losar (Tibetan new year) and Ramadan both start with the new moon on Wednesday.
There was a substantial and diverse Muslim community in Tibet, including ethnically Tibetan Muslims as well as Uighur and Kashmiri traders.

Claims that Muslim Americans are seeking to impose Islamic religious law on the country have become popular talking points among Republican lawmakers recently.

MUSLIM FUTURES
A literary fiction and graphic novel anthology featuring stories set in aspirational futures through a Muslims lens

Several Republican lawmakers are ramping up anti-Muslim comments
and facing little to no response from their leadership.
"Muslims don't belong in American society," Rep. Andy Ogles posted on Monday. "Pluralism is a lie."
The Tennessee Republican, whose seat is in a safe red district,
has previously expressed support for banning immigration from Muslim-majority countries
and said in a speech last year that "America is and must always b…

Zocalo: Ramadan Invites Us to Imagine a Better Future
I have a new piece on Zócalo about Ramadan as a futurist practice. Ramadan is a futurist practice. Ritual fasting and increased spiritual contemplation are ruptures in Muslims’ daily habits, not just in eating, but in our movement through the world. They force you to pay attention, with eyes misty with spirituality—to feel viscerally what is wrong with the world. Ramadan invites Muslims to imagine how we can remake…

In the News: How Shia Muslims in NYC feel about having a mayor who shares their faith http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOm3L5VCGRE

Rep. Andy Ogles said on Monday that Muslims have no place in America,
-- an Islamophobic attack from a sitting member of Congress.
“Muslims don’t belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie,”
the Tennessee Republican posted Monday morning on X.
It is not the first bigoted social media post Ogles has made.
He has also said that “America and Islam are incompatible,”
and has introduced legislation to halt immigration from Muslim-majority nations.
