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

I am Troy Davis!!!
This poem is dedicated to Troy Davis, a U.S. citizen & Georgia native, who was convicted of 1st. Degree Murder, based upon inconclusive & unreliable evidence used against him during his trial.

My Fashion-Week adventures:
My trek into one of the Fashion-World’s greatest events started out rather ironically. I wasn’t initially going to go to any events, because I was preoccupied with other things. But, as Allah would have it, He redirected my path (as usual) to something better. And, it was indeed better that I checked out Fashion-Week. Day Continue reading

Domestic-Violence has no Place in the Muslim-Community!!!
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19f36vHvN4/ The Issue of Domestic-Abuse is very often used via both Muslim&Non-Muslim Islāmophobes, Murtads/Apostates/Ex-Muslims, etc. to pontificate/claim that al-Islām co-signs azh-Zhulm (Oppression, Abuse, etc.). This is exclusively based upon at-Tahrīf/Textual-Distortion, regarding a Revelatory-Text (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.4, V.34). Even prior to any Muslim or Non-Muslim Woman getting married to any Muslim-Man: there’s an Established Vetting-Matrix in which Continue reading

Somalia (The Anatomy of a Tragedy):
I shouldn’t have to reiterate what’s gruesomely obvious, but it seems that I must: significantly large populations of people, living in four countries in the Horn of Africa: Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea, Somalia, are currently facing one of the most devastating famines ever seen in recent memory & possibly in the entire history of the African continent itself.

Gareth Bryant’s Top-Ten advices for Muslim College-Students:

Islam is my Life & Fashion is my Passion:
I remember when I first became a Muslim, like so many us who reverted to Islam, I went through the whole “change your name”, change your look, and essentially change who you naturally, culturally are, as a person nonsense, and so-on. After my little street-life/party & drug-scene stint, I decided that I needed to be Continue reading

On the night of June 4th & the early morning of June 5th, 2011, I participated in the annual “AFSP: Out of the Darkness Overnight” Anti-Suicide walk, in New York City. I didn’t even realize how important this walk that I had committed myself to was, until I actually got to the starting point of Continue reading
