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

My St. John’s University Adventure (trust me, this is funny!!!):

This is how my story goes: Back in 2011, I was going to an Islamophobia lecture at St. John’s University, by John Starling, an instructor at the Foundation for Knowledge and Development, in New York City. When I got there, the posters for the event were all gone. And, no one seemed to know where Continue reading

Gareth Bryant’s advice on how to treat Women:

Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, “A woman is like a rib: If you attempt to straighten it, it will break.”.(al-Bukahri/Riyadh-us-Salihin) Much more important than a rib, the Human female can/will break, if you treat a woman, any woman harshly: Don’t attempt to “straighten” or “fix” her-Women don’t need to be “straightened” or “fixed”; rather, Continue reading

My thoughts on the 4th of July:

Author’s Note: July 4th-Weekend is where people put up their American flags, on their home doors, front lawns, windows, and/or cars & have day-long BBQ’s in their backyards, or go to beaches, celebrating the commemoration of how American Colonists stood against the British Crown & resisted tyranny. I would just like to present this poem, Continue reading

The Enemy Within

Each & every one of us are victims of our own regression. But, we often blind ourselves, denying the self-oppression. We enjoy living the candy-coated lie, constantly keeping us thinking we are not at fault. The truth is that we’re all the greatest culprits, just like bank-robbers, stealing the vault. We don’t want to look Continue reading

My thoughts on Loon (AKA Amir Junaid Muhadith):

Author’s note: Loon, the former rapper turned Muslim, born Chauncey Lamont Hawkins, was arrested on November of 2011, while in Belgium. He has been officially accused by the U.S. government, of committing a crime in America & has since been extradited, from Belgium, to Germany, back to the U.S., imprisoned in a Federal facility-Ironically, they Continue reading
