The Guardian features news of an online exhibition, ‘Muslim Women’s Art and Voices’, capturing stories, interviews, experiences and art by Muslim women from across the globe.

A number of artistic contributions on and by Muslim women have exhibited this year including a photography exhibition at London’s Southbank Festival and World Hijab Day.

The Sunday Telegraph published a letter yesterday signed by over 450 British Muslim scholars and leaders expressing ‘serious misgivings’ over the Coalition’s Marriage Bill legalizing same sex marriage. The Marriage Bill returns to the Report Stage in Parliament today.

In the letter, signed by a plethora of imams and Muslim leaders, they assert their “responsibility to fulfil our sacred trust to God and present our view on these proposals on behalf of the Muslim communities we serve.”

The letter reinforces interventions by other religious leaders and states:

“We support the numerous calls from other faith leaders and communities who have stood firmly against gay marriage and instead support marriage as it should be, between a man and a woman.”

Press reform campaign group Hacked Off are urging people to write to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, to object to the rival Royal Charter proposed by newspaper groups Associated Newspapers, Express Newspapers, Trinity Mirror, News international and Telegraph Media Group.

The rival Charter, put forward last month, falls considerably short of the recommendations proposed by Lord Justice Leveson in his Inquiry report published last November, and contained in the Royal Charter agreed in cross party talks in March.

Among notable concerns for Muslims is the industry’s refusal to entertain a robust third party complaints clause, viable independence of the press regulator, wider consultation on the Code of Practice, and omission on the power of the regulator to ‘direct’ apologies – effectively meaning the press can continue to evade ‘due prominence’ in publishing corrections and apologies.

You can submit a letter to the Secretary of State rejecting the industry’s charter via the Hacked Off website, here.

The Guardian reports on the Orwell Prize winner, Professor A T Williams, for his book on the brutal death of Baha Mousa at the hands of British soldiers serving in Iraq.

Mousa died in September 2003 as a result of injuries sustained from beatings and cruel treatment at the hands of soldiers stationed in Basra. His death and questions over the conduct of British soldiers led to an inquiry headed by Sir William Gage into the events of September 2003 and the failings of soldiers and officers of the British Army.

Judges awarding the prize for political journalism, Nikita Lalwani, Arifa Akbar and Baroness Joan Bakewell, said Williams "dissects and analyses with a clear-eyed determination to unpick the lies from the truths of this case, yet, for all its forensic detail, the book grips us emotionally, and has as keen a sense of storytelling as a horror story or courtroom drama. Ultimately, the greatest achievement of this incendiary, eloquent and angry book is that it humanises Mousa beyond the iconic and infamous figure he has become in his death. It was written in the spirit of Orwell's journalism".
