Links for Non-Muslims
This page contains links to resources for non-Muslims. Most of these sites are also linked from my Introduction to Islam page.

These are articles written by non-Muslims who encourage other non-Muslims to learn more about Islam and to seek out the good in Islam.

Links on Muslim Causes and Issues
It's easy to think that Russia, India, Israel, and the United States are innocent democracies targeted by Muslim terrorists who "hate freedom". But the truth is much more complicated than that. These articles are by Western journalists not by Muslims. Perhaps it may be more convincing to read what your own people have to say.
Western Journalists in Support of Chechnya
Western Journalists in Support of Kashmir
Western Journalists in Support of Palestine
Western Journalists on the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks
Some other resources include:
Links About Stereotyping of Arabs and Muslims
Links on Women in Islam
Women in many Muslim countries are indeed treated badly. But is Islam the cause? Or is Islam being distorted to serve an evil purpose? Here are a few articles that present the truth of Islamic teachings about women.
Women in Islam Versus Women in the Judeo-Christian Tradition
Ideals and Role Models for Women in Islam
On the Position of Women in Islam and Islamic Society
Good News and Commentary
These sites are not about Islam, but rather they provide news and commentary that you may not find in the mainstream media. Most of the links on my "Western Journalists" pages (see above) are to articles on these sites.
Antiwar.com - News and views from the libertarian perspective
Common Dreams - News and views from the progressive perspective
CounterPunch - News and views from the progressive perspective
Cursor.org - A media monitor site that provides links to news stories outside the mainstream
Media Monitors Network - Another media monitor site, this one devoted to commentary
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs - This site is devoted to the Middle East, as its name implies. Has archives going back to 1982
