Oppression: What the World needs to be constantly reminded of:
In light of what has recently been happening in Palestine, let’s look at some historical examples of the same type of oppression, that’s just as vile as what we’ve witnessed in the Levant during our very own lifetimes: 1. The Crusades, the Christian invasions of the Muslim-World, during the Middle-Ages (1095-1456 C.E.) 2. The Spanish Continue reading

The Turbulence of Life
As the sea waves crash during our nights and days.We dwell within our mundane, vesseled hideaways. The torrid and torrent, toil and trial will drive each & all of us off-course. But our navigator must be Allah’s guidance & with Him is the best force. Because it is He who turns our ships: our physical-bodies, Continue reading

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 Opera of Obscurity
My yearning for Isolation: I wish I were still in the womb. I’d like to call it my birth-tomb. It is just like a Cocoon, in it I am wrapped inside. Divorced from the world, my perfect way to hide. Protected, unjudged, allowed to be free, and unplugged. No one’s here to disturb or mock Continue reading

My thoughts on Malala Yusufzai, the danger of Extremism and the necessity of Fairness:
Author’s note: The following post is based upon the failed assassination-attempt of a Malala Yusufzai, a young girl, from the Swat Province of Pakistan. She is an avid writer, poet, blogger, and has been a recipient of the National Youth Peace Prize. However, her accomplishments have been very controversial, among many ultra-conservatives, specifically, among the 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. Having a beard is not a license to detain me, for an hour or three. My Arabic tongue shouldn’t be a reason to be doomed, living a life of the falsely-accused. Continue reading

My St. John’s University Adventure (trust me, this is funny!!!):
This is how my story goes: Back in 2011, I was going to an Islamophobia lecture at St. John’s University, by John Starling, an instructor at the Foundation for Knowledge and Development, in New York City. When I got there, the posters for the event were all gone. And, no one seemed to know where Continue reading
