REZA ASLAN
is a superfly author and religious scholar. He's got a list of credentials that gives him some serious street cred in the world of Islamic studies and general scholarly pursuits. His new book "How To Win A Cosmic War" will be on bookshelves near you on April 21, 2009. But if you haven't read his first book "No god but God" you're missing out on some serious knowledge and writing prowess. Plus even though he's the greatest smartie-pants ever he's a living doll and exceedingly cool to all his groupies.
This site is run by a couple of groupies. Please, don't use the message feature to message Reza himself. You'll only reach a couple of girls nodding in agreement that he rules.

Demonstrators attend a rally near Times Square in solidarity with Iranian people whose human rights are being abused in Iran on July 25, 2009 in New York City. Similar rallies billed as 'a global day of action' by organizers have been scheduled in major cities around the world.
Thank you for being my friend!We should lead the reformists and teach them how to create global democracy and democracy for Iran the way it works there! There is no god but god but god chooses to go into any container he wants and suprise the dead walking!
Monica, Hopefully you'll get to see him on his Euro leg of the tour this summer. I get back to the states right after he leaves. It's starting to give me a complex.
We got a lot of new "friends" after the last Daily Show. Hope everyone chimes in with a comment or two. Always happy when people send me links to post too.
Second, I'm in the same boat as you Stella. I'm living in Romania now and I totally forgot about the new book. Then I was checking out the Daily Show online and watched monday's episode. You would not believe how giddy I got when he came out. Anyway...hopefully he'll do a European tour and stop by a nearby country.
Happy reeeeeeeeeally late Persian New Year, Nowrooz Mobarak! and have a great week guys! Va pup (kiss to y'all...in Romanian)
Well Rashid, you're super lucky. I'm definitely envious. I still haven't seen him speak. And now that I live in Colombia I just don't think it's going to happen...I won't even be able to order the new book here! Not a lot of Islamic Scholars running around South America it seems.
Anyhow, the new book is just around the corner and I hope everyone is getting stoked.
Hey Stella...been a while since I posted here...yeah, I actually did get to see him...twice!
He came to Madison on two separate occasions since then...I even had a private student session with him with like, 10 people or so. Amazingness, as usual...
Hey folks, I haven't been here in a while since I started school full time and have been super busy :( But when I saw Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama on Meet The Press last Sunday and heard what he had to say about the "Obama is a Muslim" attacks I was pleased, and it reminded me of the groupies. I thought you guys might enjoy hearing it if you haven't — the vid's on my page. There's a good Daily Show one too, addressing racism against Muslims in the McCain campaign.
