Some Brief Islamic-History (Islam’s female version of the “Dream-Team”):
Author’s note: I’ve written this exclusively to address the fallacies of people whom are Islamophobic, who state that Islam has no respect for women, and that it’s even religiously-sanctioned in Islam to mistreat women, all of which are complete not at all true. However, ironically, unfortunately, sadly, there are Muslims out there who attempt to Continue reading

My thoughts on Women & Women’s History Month (Part III):
Women worth all the respect in the world: 1. Eve- The mother of the Human race, Eve (also known as Hawwa’ [Peace be upon her]) is the pinnacle of womanhood.

My thoughts on Women & Women’s History Month (Part II):
Women are the best!!! Women are so important to both you and me. It’s so obvious; yet, we still can’t come to see. They are our mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, friends & comforters. Yet, we show no thanks in return for selflessly giving all of themselves. We depend upon women in so many ways, we Continue reading

My thoughts on a Woman’s beauty:
The Canvas & the Painter!!!The woman is like a canvas, and I am like her painter. I’ve used my long, brown paintbrush, with its gentle bristles, to paint her entire body. I’ve longed to give her blank body expression; it is just as though she consumes me. I’ve drawn ridges up and down her tender Continue reading

Both Misogyny & Feminism are Evil and here’s why:
Author’s note: Now, for many of you out there who may have a gender superiority-complex, from either gender, may be pissed at me for saying what you’ll end up reading from this post. But, it just needs to be said. This post is not at all meant to offend anyone’s personal views about anything, and Continue reading
