Taqwacores on Twitter

Hey all – a quick note about the taqwacores on Twitter wiki:

A while back, I asked around if there was a list of Taqs on Twitter for everyone to connect with each other. Some were surprised there wasn’t already one (as was I) so when I got the thumbs up from The Kominas crew while they were on tour, I went ahead with creating what we Internet geeks call a beta version.

Here it is: Taqwacore on TwitterPacks. Yeah, it’s far from finished.

The whole wiki can be kind of confusing and I can update it for ya now that I got the hang of things – psst – only after I accidentally updating the front page of the entire site to a single link that went to the Taqwacore list, saying “OH SHIT,” and changing it back.

Oh wikis…

So, there is a way to update the wiki yourself, but you do have to sign-in. If that’s your style, let me know if you have any trouble. Otherwise, just send me a reply @kaitfoley so I know it’s cool to add you. There will be a new version sent out every #followfriday for people to pass along and retweet. If you don’t know what #followfriday is, no worries, it’s just a popular tag people use to make recommendations of new people to follow.

Last, I do hate the name TwitterPacks. After researching the other options, though, I decided to go with it… for now. Eventually, people in this group will be able to filter messages to see what conversations are going on about the book, bands, and other news-type like tours, blog updates, and recent press. That’s the vision I have for the group anyway.

Unfortunately, I gotta keep this quick for now because unemployment calls and there’s many job apps to be done today.

Sending peace, love, and many warm & fuzzy tweets your way,

Kait

Thus Speaks Nietzsche

He who seeks himself easily becomes lost. All isolation is guilt, thus speaks the herd. And you have long belonged to the herd.

Thoughts on Religious Pluralism: Zakaria, Huntington, and Arendt

While doing some research about interfaith project in the US, I came across a comment about Fareed Zakaria’s article “Learning to Live with Radical Islam.” Turns out, it was left on changethestory.net by fellow blogger and twitter friend Hussein Rashid. He explains why he thinks that moderate Muslims are important too, especially in building a strong state. He says:

If you imagine a spectrum of religious thought, the Islamists are closest to the extremists; they speak the same “language.” Once the current extremists are neutered, the Islamists are the new extremists. It is the moderates who can help determine what a “moderate” debate can look like. If the state is only open to extremes, then we do have a concern about all Islamist groups.

A while back, I wrote about Amina Chaudary’s interview with Samuel Huntington. To recap what I mentioned: Huntington was asked by a Muslim woman studying at Harvard if there was going to be a clash of civilizations between Islamic world and the West. Huntington answered her by saying he didn’t know.

Liffey Sunset a la Nokia - Dublin, Ireland

Last year I spent St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin with my high school buddy Narv and her friend from college K. We all stayed at the house of a couple of Narv’s Irish friends, and one day we also drove to Galway, and stayed for two nights. The first we spent in a B&B called La Salsa. For the second, we stayed with family friends in a farm house outside town.

Lifestream

Yes, the lifestream application has left Twitter nonsense all over my blog. I’m trying to fix that so it seems more condensed, and has an all around sensible look in the future. Seriously, when will micro and regular blogging work together as one? C’mon…

In the meantime, please forgive the mess while I remodel. Thanks!
