		<description><![CDATA[Two days ago I was surfing rather aimlessly on paltalk, the chat program through which I follow a number of Muslim chat rooms. It was 5 pm and not much was going on except for two chat rooms carrying something like &#8220;dialogues of religions&#8221; in their titles. I sometimes visit these chat rooms which usually [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have just returned from spending two weeks in Germany going to mosques, talking to young Muslims and Imams and sitting in trains. Most impressive, and also demanding for me, was a weekend I spent in a mosque in order to follow a three-day long seminar.

		<description><![CDATA[What do people do in chat rooms and internet forums? What a question: discussing, learning, chatting, reading, socializing, looking up information op just &#8220;hanging out&#8221;, surfing around and many other things, the negative side like flaming, hate mails etc. not included.
