Gareth Bryant’s Thanksgiving Spoiler-Alert:
While all of you are bustin’ down a big ol’ bird, called a Turkey, to the white-meat…just remember some pretty important things: 1.

The Challenge to be Authentic
Author’s-Note: I just felt like writing down some thoughts, about how people would rather see others in a false-light, then through an authentic-lens, how they would rather others be fake then to be real. Don’t worry, this poem is not about any particular individual/individuals. So, I don’t want anyone contacting me, questioning, challenging me, as… Continue reading

The “Child-Marriage” Issue: I’d rather call it Youth-Marriage
Author’s Note: Has anyone ever noticed that when it comes to the issue of “Child-Marriage”, only the Western-World uses the term “Child”? There’s a very important reason for this: they want people to get accustom to people always assuming that Men are marrying girls, under the age of Puberty, which is utterly perverse, in nature.… Continue reading

Obama has brought Change, but not the Change We wanted:
You’ve changed the way that Politicians lie, how our mothers & widows cry: Drone-strikes knock-down our towns, there’s countless shattered bodies around… …You’ve turned America upside down, with your slick talk, and your cool sound. You’ve even caused those who believed you to scorn you… …Who would’ve thought that this would be your colors true.… Continue reading

The Death that We will never recover from:
The demise of the greatest of the great, I despise… …Muhammad has left us, such a loss to our lives.

al-Ightisab/Sexual-Abuse is a Crime…no matter who does it!!!
I, as a Muslim, am truly disgusted when I hear about Rape (especially referring to cases of children being assaulted). Things like Rape via the Muslim-World cause Islamophobes to reinforce all of the classic Islamophobic-Rhetoric against Islam.(https://gbwrites.com/2020/10/29/judeochristianislamophobia) We, as Muslims, have a Horrible-Habit of making the Job of Islamophobes easier, by doing things that will… Continue reading
