The famed Scottish artist, Willie Rodger, has been working with nine schools across Scotland, helping them to create linocut prints of their very own. It all began on Hallowe’en, with Willie hosting a masterclass via Glow Meet from his studio, with each of the nine classes joining in to watch.

These findings mirror recent data that show anal sex rates among adults doubled between the years 1995 and 2004

Organizers of the site, Quranet.net, say they hope it will serve as a “bridge between Islam and the West” by applying the wisdom of Islam’s holiest book to modern-day problems. “We try to transform the Quran into a modern and useful tool, so that every person can find a Quranic answer to
