		<description><![CDATA[A Map of Home by Randa Jarrar is a book that does not fall into a category easily.

		<description><![CDATA[Skunk Girl is Sheba Karim&#8217;s first novel. It is told from the point of view of 16-year-old Nina Khan, self-described as &#8220;a Pakistani Muslim girl&#8221; and from a small white town in upstate New York.

This pageant, unlike the standard pageants that feature contestants in various outfits and judge them on their appearance, is looking for &#8220;Miss Beautiful Morals.&#8221; The contest, open to women ages 15 to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If FOX News does anything well, it's make its bias clear. A recent article entitled "Muslim Women in U.S. Struggle to Balance Western Freedoms and Islamic Culture" makes no attempts to hide the opinion of the writer and the message she wants to convey to her readers. Each line is so riddled with assumptions and misconceptions, I don't know where to begin.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’re looking for Muslim teenagers in young adult fiction, you’ll be hard-pressed to find many good examples. There are plenty of Orientalist novels about exotic Muslim girls in distant lands. A standard example is the narrator of Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind (Suzanne Fisher Staples, 1991), who at age 13 is forced into marriage [...]]]></description>
