Abstract
"this just in" piece on the decision by the Portland Public Library to let its subscription to an English-language Islamic magazine called "Al Jumah" lapse. The magazine advocates an extreme version of Islam. Sheldon Kaye, library director, said the magazine is not being phased out due to its extremist views, but rather because of its narrow focus. Kaye said it's difficult to know just what kind of Islam local Muslims practice and want to read about. The library now features an Arabic-language magazine the staff hopes will be more compatible with area Muslims.
