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.

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

My thoughts on the 4th of July:

Author’s Note: July 4th-Weekend is where people put up their American flags, on their home doors, front lawns, windows, and/or cars & have day-long BBQ’s in their backyards, or go to beaches, celebrating the commemoration of how American Colonists stood against the British Crown & resisted tyranny.
