Pen-Elayne on the Web

Faith-Based Initiative

Perhaps it's just NODWISH (™ Mercury23) season making me notice these things, but there's a series of good religious-themed posts over at Jeanne's Body and Soul blog, including today's on Democrats and Religion, as well as musings on Tom Friedman's prediction that the Iraqi post-occupation government might be as Islamic Republic; and yesterday's discussing the opinions of "Cardinal Ratzinger, head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly known as the Inquisition)" regarding Islam mixing politics and religion too much. Update: I also wanted to make note of a very interesting comment section to Laura Poyneer's post on vailed4allah about France's moves to ban Muslim girls from wearing the hijab.
