Dear Wendy,
This isn't a Muslim magazine, but Mizna is an Arab-American literary
magazine.  I don't have the address at work, but I subscribe at home.  I
am
mailing your address to my home email and can send the information to
you
tonight.  Mizna is an Arabic word meaning a cool cloud that shelters you
from the sun.

Yesterday, a patron objected to the cover of this month's _Moment_
magazine.
For those who don't suscribe, Moment is a Jewish publication. This
particular cover features a male sniper covered in the fashion of a
Muslim
woman. Our patron, a Muslim woman, was concerned with the message behind
the
image. As a result, our director is looking into both Moment's history,
and
the possibility of carrying an additional Muslim magazine. I would
greatly
appreciate any or all of the following:

-your thoughts on Moment magazine
-your thoughts on _Al Jumuah_, an Islamic magazine we currently receive
as a
gift subscription.
-suggestions for other Muslim/Islamic publications

As always, thanks to everyone for their time!

Wendy
