I know, you thought you could find it all here. Alas, I am one person. I cannot do it all.

However, if you visit On Faith this week (a Web site jointly produced by the Washington Post and Newsweek), you can find an entire section on Islam. It’s entitled “Muslims Speak Out: What Islam Really Says About Violence, Human Rights and Other Religions.” The people they chose to write articles for this limited-time-only page are noted thinkers with varied opinions — everyone from Jon Meacham (editor at Newsweek and a religion buff) to Tony Blair to the Grand Mufti of Egypt.

The Web edition accompanies last week’s issue of Newsweek, which featured Muslims in America. While I admit I wasn’t too excited about the cover story (not much you haven’t heard before), I was impressed with the varied voices they were able to obtain. And I find the accompanying Web page on On Faith to be an even greater resource for learning more about the various perspectives and issues pertaining to Islam at this time in history.

The live talks online are over, but the articles are still up. Be sure to check it out before they change the page!
