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 Myanmar (formerly known as Burma)
Author’s note: The following poem is about the recent string of violent religious & ethnic-cleansing episodes, in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), which have barely been reported, on any major news circuits, to the extent that it needs to be.

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.

The Deceptive-Provisions & Implications of the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act:
Sadly, the National Defense Authorization Act, along with its many overtly deceptive provisions & implications, is just another shrewd wayward way of making the United States an even more totalitarian state, no different than the likes of the Roman Empire, the Soviet Union, or Nazi-Germany. The very nature of this document, allowing martial-law to essentially Continue reading
