In many of us are well aware of the everexpanding student loan market and the latest estimates are that nearly 40 million americans are laden with 1. 3 trillion worth of student ebt. One in four of the borrowers is either in delinquency or default. Last years graduating class had an average of 35,000 in student ebt. Those are striking numbers. The Obama Administration recently announced two policy changes and president ial candidates have focused on a variety of alternatives of ways to lower the debt burdens.

French muslims in british muslims need to more forcefully condemn terrorism, benefit from that solidarity that is created. A couple of books i have read from women, i cant think of her last name. She was part of the Dutch Parliament for a while. These two authors i am thinking very vividly describe what it is like for women in islamic ,ountries, general mutilation all of that, really tough to read, and i think the start of an underground group of women that are tuning into this then extrapolate to islam broadly, and i think that has not been, at least im not aware of it being countered or if it could be countered.
