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.

My thoughts on the Sikh Temple shooting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin:

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 Hate-Crimes!!!
When are we as a people going to stop hurting & killing one another, for things that we’ve not done wrong?!!!

My thoughts on the NYPD (Narcissistic…Yellow-Bellied…Power-Hungry…Derelicts):
As many of you, whom are about to read this may already know, the New York City Police Department has been consistently conducting strings of illegal probing & out-right spying on Mosques, Islamic Centers, MSA’s (Muslim Student Associations), as well as other auxiliary Muslim-led or Muslim-majority student-groups, in Colleges & Universities, all over New York Continue reading

My apology as an American:
I want to officially apologize to the entire world for being an American, because America ain’t shit!!! The United States of America has been responsible for the most religious discrimination, most xenophobia, most genocide, most rape, most murder, most displacement of indigenous peoples, most military-induced destruction, most political scandal, most social instability, most sexualization/sexual-perversion, more Continue reading
