With Islamophobia on the rise in the US and Europe, has Canada set a different example by electing that country's first ever Muslim mayor? Thirty-eight-year-old Naheed Nenshi, a Harvard-educated professor of Indian descent, won in the western city of Calgary, considered to be Canada's conservative bastion. Many say his victory is a testament to the country's commitment to multiculturalism that encourages immigrants to both preserve their ethnic roots and embrace their Canadian identity. But critics say the multicultural model actually makes it tougher and not easier for new Canadians to integrate into mainstream society. Does multiculturalism help or hurt the cause of diversity in Canada?
Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Barack Obama, the US president, has called Pakistan's northwest tribal region bordering Afghanistan "the most dangerous place". The Pakistani army is waging a bloody war against extremist groups for control of those areas, especially in The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Those battles have left hundreds dead and tens of thousands of people homeless. Yet Taliban and al-Qaeda forces still control large swathes of territory often imposing their own system of Islamic law on a war-weary tribal population. We ask: Why has religious extremism flourished in Pakistan's tribal areas and how can Islamabad effectively deal with the threat?

Riz Khan interviewed the true blue spuerstar of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan during My Name Is Khan release. But here in this interview SRK didn't talk about his movie, he talked about his childhood, his unexpected mega stardom and what legacy he wants to leave behind. Surely, this conversation will inspire you a lot. It brought tears in my eyes and I didn't even realize when. Shah Rukh sir deserve lot more than what he is today :')

Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe As one of the most sought-after Islamic commentators in the West today, Ramadan rejects the notion that Islam and the West must be at opposite ends. He encourages Muslims to participate fully in the civic life of Western secular societies and urges Muslims to avoid living in religious ghettos. But how can Islam and secular society truly co-exist as governments in Europe move to ban Islamic face-coverings or the construction of traditional minarets?
