Would it be okay to call the casting director and ask when they plan to make the final decision? I don't think I can wait any longer without going insane.

I mean, if I don't get it that's okay, but I need to know one way or the other so I can look for other work.

Televangelist Jerry Falwell labeled the Prophet Muhammad a "terrorist." The Rev. Franklin Graham, who offered the invocation at President Bush's inauguration, has repeatedly disparaged Islam, calling it "a very evil and wicked religion." He has frequently called for Muslims to be held responsible for what happened September 11.

Another minister, Jerry Vines of Jacksonville, Fla., called Muhammad a "demon-possessed pedophile" during a speech to pastors prior to the annual Southern Baptist Convention. It is a shame how these so-called religious figures claim to have knowledge yet slander someone who the Muslims believe the last and the holiest Prophet, Muhammad.

Being Muslim, I would like tell the people everywhere - including those blinded by the media - that Islam is seriously misunderstood. After September 11, many Muslims worldwide were forced to endure racist remarks. A 19 year old Iranian girl currently enrolled at the University of South Alabama also works as a server at a midtown restaurant. When asked about customers' reactions after September 11, she said she had to tolerate very harsh remarks and was confronted many times with rude questions about her religion. She said there have been numerous times when she was asked, "What are you doing in the United States? You don't belong here!" Furthermore, she claims to have been deliberately put in very uncomfortable situations by co-workers commenting on her accent, religion and culture.

Another Muslim student was harassed outside Bishop State Community College because she had on a hijab, a headscarf worn by Muslim women. She said she was literally terrorized by a couple of students asking her personal questions and being insolent with her in front of a crowd. She was so intimidated that she refused to reveal her name for this article. This proves that one of the most important principles of the people of the United States, equality of all races and cultures, has been denied certain members of the community.

The Arabic "Islam" literally means complete submission only to the will of God. It is derived from the word silm meaning peace--both inner and outer. A Muslim therefore, is not only one who submits, but also one who is at peace, seeks peace, and promotes peace.

Islam is not terrorism. It is compassion. Islam is not oppression; it is justice. It does not disregard human life; it is humanity. Islam is not a cult nor is it a fad; it is a faith, a brotherhood with a following of one billion. Islam is not Arab; it is cosmopolitan. It is not Louis Farrakhan. It is not Saddam Hussein. Islam is dignity. It is goodness.

Ever since September 11, we have been bombarded with generalizations as to the peaceful nature of Islam. "Islam is traditionally a religion of tolerance." "Our enemy is fanaticism, not Islam." It is not surprising such generalizations have confused a number of people about another "face" of Islam they have witnessed -- militancy. Muslims all over the world grieved the loss of so many innocent lives. We share the sorrow with all those who lost their family, their loved ones. It is also a loss of humanity, and we are equally distressed.

For a fuller understanding of how Islam sees itself, we should not only look at the Qur'an, which is the holy book of Muslims, but at other Islamic roots and sources as well. Let it be clearly stated, however, that it is wrong to say Muslims have always converted non-Muslims through the sword. In the United States, for example, there are two and three million converts to Islam, none converted by force. Whether all Muslims and non-Muslims are aware of it or not, Islam is not a religion in the same way religion is understood in the West.

One of the many misunderstandings that have arisen in the West, is the judging Islam by the conduct of a minority. By doing this, segments of Western society have deliberately played off the desperate actions of many Muslims, and have given it the name of Islam. Such behavior is clearly not objective and seeks to distort the reality of Islam

Do not, as some ungracious pastors do,
Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven;
Whiles, like a puffed and reckless libertine,
Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads,
And recks not his own rede.
Hamlet, 1. 3

I have heard,
That guilty creatures sitting at a play
Have by the very cunning of the scene
Been struck so to the soul that presently
They have proclaimed their malefactions;
For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak
With most miraculous organ.
Hamlet, 2. 2

O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!
The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's eye, tongue, sword;
The expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion and the mould of form,
The observed of all observers!
Hamlet, 3. 1

I'm a theatre director and I'm looking for ideas on how to make the Headless Horseman's head (a plastic pumpkin) fly across the stage without careening wildly into my actors or the audience. The distance to travel is about fourty feet and I'm considering some sort of rig using monofilament (fishing line to the rest of us). If you have an idea, let me know! I've tried the basic pendulum idea, and it really doesn't look too hot to me.

Can anyone tell me about Nunsense? My school is going to be doing it. I'm an alto, are there any alto parts? It will be double cast, so that improves my chances of getting in. I know that there is one character that is a ballerina. I am practicing really hard to show off my dancing and how fast I learn in the current musical. Do you have any advice for me? Auditions will be in November.
