My thoughts on Jeremy Lin AKA Linderella (New York City’s Mandarin Miracle on 34th St.):
He’s got a six-game winning-streak under his belt thus far, in the absence of both Amare Stoudemire & Carmelo Anthony. He’s everything that the New York Knicks wanted & needed to get some team synergy established, and he’s also Chinese-American. It’s very refreshing, in a city like New York, to have some ethnic representation of Continue reading

https://fb.watch/kQqs4CPdZd/?mibextid=Nif5oz https://fb.watch/kQqMxdLhwA/?mibextid=Nif5oz These two men have a lot in common: al-Hajjaj ibn-Yusuf lived over a thousand years ago; but, apparently, tyranny in the Muslim-World, unfortunately, didn’t die with him. Bashār al-Asad has seemingly been the Geo-Political Reincarnation of al-Hajjāj, basically picking up where he left off. And, the Irony is that they’ve both been Leaders Continue reading

My thoughts on Aafia Siddiqui & Joseph (Peace be upon him): Two different people of two different times, yet tested by Allah with the same trial:
Author’s note: The stories of both Joseph (Peace be upon him) & Aafia Siddiqui are very similar in nature, in spite of the fact that they lived in different time-periods. Their tests were sent by Allah to them to test their faith to see how they would react to the onslaught of opposition. Joseph- The Continue reading

It’s been a time for me to dig deep within myself, to wrap myself in Continue reading

My thoughts on al-`Asabiyyah/Xenophobia

My thoughts on MLK, Jr. and the “MLK-Legacy”:
What can I say to ever give justice to this man? Nothing. Himself, along with countless individuals, of all creeds, ethnicities, nationalities, genders & political-orientations, led the world towards a global fight to end tyranny & injustice. Many of his efforts have been duly highlighted in the annals of American & World-History, which is why Continue reading
