Shari`ah & Women’s Rights in Islam: Who’s entitled to interpret it?
In the past decade, we’ve seen a huge debate around the concept of “Sharia: in America “, what it means, as well as what it’s implications are on Americans as well as to women, on a more global scale. I’ve known Carlin for a while and we’ve started to have some discussions on the matter. Continue reading

What is “Islāmic-Feminism”/What is a “Muslim-Feminist”?!!!
Author’s note: Since Feminism has taken a very significant foothold, within the greater Muslim-World, in our modern-age, as a direct-result of the atrocities brought on by Misogyny, many Muslims, both Men & Women, whom are religiously in favor of Feminism, have decided to coin the term “Islamic-Feminism/Muslim-Feminist”, to identify with the greater Feminist-Movement, with an Continue reading

My “Dear-John” letter to John Fitzgerald Kennedy:
Author’s note: John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been dead a long time. And, ironically, people are still clinging to the classic lone-gunman story, of how one many shot JFK, from at least 3-directions, causing 3 completely different bullet wounds, on 3 completely separate parts of his body. With that being said, I’ve made a poem, describing Continue reading

Triangles and Eyes:
Your eyes behold nothing but corruption and lies But you don’t have to be wise to uncover the disguise Behind the music and rhymes To them money, power and deception is the prize But looking fly and getting high isn’t getting you to the seventh sky It’s easy to deny But when you understand why Continue reading

Oxfam is Awesome!!!
Kristin Davis, popular actress, of the world-wide critically acclaimed T.V. & movie series, “Sex In The City”, very recently did a commercial for Oxfam, an internationally-renown non-profit organization, geared towards establishing food-justice in under-developed countries, particularly. When I had seen this commercial on TV, I immediately told my mom that I had & still do Continue reading

A Story of Islamophobia: Bias, Fear, and Injustice
Author’s note: This is the story of someone whom I know personally, whom was a victim of malicious, immoral, unethical, and illegal, Islamophobia, just because they were Muslim, had an Arabic name, came from, ancestrally, from a part of the Muslim-World, and, because they were neither a U.S.-citizen, nor a citizen of their respective native-land.

al-Ightisab/Sexual-Abuse is a Crime…no matter who does it!!!
I, as a Muslim, am truly disgusted when I hear about Rape (especially referring to cases of children being assaulted). Things like Rape via the Muslim-World cause Islamophobes to reinforce all of the classic Islamophobic-Rhetoric against Islam.(https://gbwrites.com/2020/10/29/judeochristianislamophobia) We, as Muslims, have a Horrible-Habit of making the Job of Islamophobes easier, by doing things that will Continue reading

Water: An Islamic-Treasure!!!
All living things, essentially, rely on water for basic-existence on Earth, making it such a crucial part of our existence; yet, sadly, we take it for granted far too often & even once is one time too many. We, often times, are so quick to purposely ignore & forget the teaching of Muhammad, the Messenger Continue reading
