My thoughts on Malala Yusufzai, the danger of Extremism and the necessity of Fairness:
Author’s note: The following post is based upon the failed assassination-attempt of a Malala Yusufzai, a young girl, from the Swat Province of Pakistan. She is an avid writer, poet, blogger, and has been a recipient of the National Youth Peace Prize. However, her accomplishments have been very controversial, among many ultra-conservatives, specifically, among the… Continue reading

The Muslims need Self-Representation!!!
I’m takin’ back my voice!!! Don’t speak for me. I’m a man and free. My religion doesn’t give hatemongers the credence to silence me. Having a beard is not a license to detain me, for an hour or three. My Arabic tongue shouldn’t be a reason to be doomed, living a life of the falsely-accused.… Continue reading

Some Brief Islamic-History (Islam’s female version of the “Dream-Team”):
Author’s note: I’ve written this exclusively to address the fallacies of people whom are Islamophobic, who state that Islam has no respect for women, and that it’s even religiously-sanctioned in Islam to mistreat women, all of which are complete not at all true. However, ironically, unfortunately, sadly, there are Muslims out there who attempt to… Continue reading

Some Brief Islamic-History (The Rightly-Guided Khulafa’)
These new posts of mine, which will be posted periodically, which will be labeled “Some Brief Islamic-History” will be, what I hope to be, many educational articles about the history of Islam. And, by history of Islam, I really mean from the time from Adam, to the present-day, because, based upon Islamic-Texts, Islam didn’t begin… Continue reading

My thoughts on negative portrayls of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) inciting violence in the Muslim-World:
The recent attacks on U.S. Embassies in the Muslim-World, mainly in the Mideast, as a result of numerous negative, propaganda, short-films, caricatures, cartoons, pamphlets, novels, books, movies, shows, etc. negatively portraying Muhammad (Peace be upon him), has incited immense violence all across the Muslim-World, particularly, in places like Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and several other Muslim… Continue reading

My thoughts on the Sikh Temple shooting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin:
When people think about Wisconsin, they usually think about cheese, not murder, especially when these murders are xenophobically motivated. This Summer will be known for a lot of things, and unfortunately, murders will be at the top of the list, of our 2012. First, it was the gruesome murder of Trayvon Martin, then, the recent,… Continue reading

My thoughts on Mohamed Mursi, the Muslim-Brotherhood & a potentially new Egypt:
The Muslim Brotherhood has recently acquired, via one of their own, the reigns of the Presidency of Egypt. Now, the office of President, in the hands of Mohamed Mursi, has caused a lot of concern, as well as controversy, within Egypt herself, within the Mideast, among her regional neighbors, as well as on the international… Continue reading

My thoughts on Batman: The Dark Knight Rises & James Holmes: Humanity Falls
It’s been an entire week since the Batman movie massacre, that has shaken Aurora, Co, and has forced a nation into deep uproar, about gun-control, as well as, the two front-running Presidential candidates to make public outcries about gun-violence. However, when a Muslim observes this tragedy, and, a tragedy it definitely was, we must also… Continue reading
