This photo — from Turkish photographer Sıtkı Kösemen‘s fun new album of Istanbul photographs Today is Today — sums up a lot about what I’m trying to say about the many faces of Islam in Dining with al-Qaeda. What do you think these girls represent?

    They represent the reality that fashion and Islam are not incompatible.

    I agree. In Turkey, you often see a woman with a headscarf walking arm in arm with a woman friend who doesn’t happen to wear one. If it’s not a problem between young people, why should it be a problem for others?
