A Brief history of Terrorism within the United States:
I was just thinking of the following: Whenever Islamophobes talk about “Homegrown-Terrorism/Terrorists”, they always neglect to reflect upon the history of Terrorism, within the annals of our very own American-History. I had debated with a fellow online writer/blogger (http://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2013/05/11/loonwatch-has-been-claiming-that-94-of-all-terrorists-arent-muslim-whats-up-with-that/), because this person was making the claim that “since 1980, Muslims in the U.S. have been 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 Recent Attacks in different countries Worldwide:
Learning about the recent violent attacks in both Kenya & Pakistan, as well as other nations, are always sad constantly constantly to hear about, or to constantly read about, or to constantly watch on T.V. It still reminds us all that senseless-violence, regardless to whomever commits it, whomever teaches to indulge in it, whomever supports Continue reading

A Story of Islamophobia: Bias, Fear, and Injustice
Author’s note: This is the story of someone whom I know personally, whom was a victim of malicious, immoral, unethical, and illegal, Islamophobia, just because they were Muslim, had an Arabic name, came from, ancestrally, from a part of the Muslim-World, and, because they were neither a U.S.-citizen, nor a citizen of their respective native-land.

Words that have been hijacked in our “Modern-Society”:
The whole reason for this post is to highlight how powerful language is, whether it is used for positive or negative. My intent is to simply mention a few words, with are originally, inherently, positive/neutral. But, tragically, these words have been hijacked by persons, groups, governments, media, etc., to project specific agendas. What I intend Continue reading

Start looking past the Surface:
Don’t assume that I’m a Rapper, just because I wear Jeans & a T-Shirt. Don’t just look at the length of my beard and just think I’m out of work. Please…do not assume that, because the country I am from sounds exotic, I can fly a magic-carpet. Why do you judge people you do not 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
