Author’s-Note: The following is a statement from Tariq Ramadan, an internationally-renown Socio-Political Scholar/Commentator, particularly of the Muslim/Arab-World, concerning the experience of attending a typical White House Iftar-Celebration, hosted by a United States President.

An Ode to Maya Angelou:
I’ve loved your skill, ever since I’ve ever read & heard your amazing poetic point of view. Your similes, your anecdotes, your word wit, your vivid scope: clear as the ocean’s blue.

Imaginative-Reasoning:
Imagine a Chessboard, without pieces… …or, a Dissertation, without a Thesis. What if the Homeo had no stasis… …the World’s weather no phases? Try to picture the Arctic-Circle, with no Ice-Caps… …and, all of the Animals extinct, not coming back. Let’s think of a Planet without compliance… …filled with hypocrisy, apathy and violence.

Dominance vs. Subjugation: Which to choose?
Since the Dawn of the Human-Race, we have always viewed other species as inferior to us. We’ve constantly, throughout our tenure on Earth, tried to out survive, outwit, overpower, all other creatures of our Planet. As well, we’ve also attempted to & have used these Same-Methods against our own Fellow-Man. As far as dominating other Continue reading

MTV think they Slick:
I find it very ironic that MTV slid in the Homosexual agenda, along with the issue of their recent Anti-Bias campaign. Oftentimes, too often, actually, members of the Homosexual-Community (LGBTQ if you will) attempt to equate Sexual-Preference with natural, normal, genetic-traits, like skin-color, etc., and/or to equate Sexual-Preference (context-clue hint: there’s a very important reason Continue reading

Of the Slandered, but not of the Fallen:
There’s news around town that Gareth Bryant is a fraud. They mean to judge me as I’m to be judged by my Lord. I’m given no recourse for self defence, against offense which can’t be proven. There’s a lot of behind the scenes envy at play, in shadows as a dank craven. I’ve been viciously Continue reading

[wpvideo sXo5AxI5] Don’t ever spy, and never delve into envy… …you’ll realize your good deeds aren’t any.
