My thoughts on the Sikh Temple shooting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin:
When people think about Wisconsin, they usually think about cheese, not murder, especially when these murders are xenophobically motivated. This Summer will be known for a lot of things, and unfortunately, murders will be at the top of the list, of our 2012. First, it was the gruesome murder of Trayvon Martin, then, the recent,… Continue reading

My thoughts on Myanmar (formerly known as Burma)
Author’s note: The following poem is about the recent string of violent religious & ethnic-cleansing episodes, in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), which have barely been reported, on any major news circuits, to the extent that it needs to be. Myanmar has lost its way: My homeland, once peaceful, has become a breeding-ground for religious… Continue reading

My thoughts on Yusef Ramelize & his amazing project: “Homeless For One Week”
Author’s note: It’s very ironic how in a place like New York City, by far, the wealthiest city on the planet, in Human history, can actually have a significant homeless population. What’s also just as sadly amazing is how so many of us do nothing about it. I mean, sure there’s various organizations & food-banks.… Continue reading

My Cocoon-Diaries Part III
Author’s note: My Cocoon-Diaries are poems and/or general writings which contain self-reflections for me, how I’ve been living & how I should’ve not been living, over a significant portion of time that I’ve taken to limit my social-spheres & social-interactions. It’s been a time for me to dig deep within myself, to wrap myself up… Continue reading

My thoughts on the word “Nigger”:
Author’s note: People, very often, have asked me why I’m so comfortable with the word “Nigger” being used around me. They just can’t understand, why an African-American would be so “not angry” when this particular word is used. I’ve honestly been thinking about this for a very long time, how to officially throw the word… Continue reading

My thoughts on Loon (AKA Amir Junaid Muhadith):
Author’s note: Loon, the former rapper turned Muslim, born Chauncey Lamont Hawkins, was arrested on November of 2011, while in Belgium. He has been officially accused by the U.S. government, of committing a crime in America & has since been extradited, from Belgium, to Germany, back to the U.S., imprisoned in a Federal facility-Ironically, they… Continue reading

My thoughts on American Hypocrisy!!!
Are the Muslims really the enemy?!!! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/antisoviet-warrior-puts-his-army-on-the-road-to-peace-the-saudi-businessman-who-recruited-mujahedin-now-uses-them-for-largescale-building-projects-in-sudan-robert-fisk-met-him-in-almatig-1465715.html Ever since 9-11, every politician-elect supports the War on Islam, so they can be politically-correct. As long as I can remember, the U.S. supported thugs like the Contras, to propel agendas of dissent. Now, people like bin-Ladin are black-listed, although supported against the Soviets back in the day.… Continue reading

Some Brief Islamic-History (Malcolm Little AKA: Malcolm X):
Author’s note: Every year, in both February & May, people have celebrations, concerts, grave-visits, lectures, and the whole nine-yards, in homage to this one man, Malcolm Little (May Allah mercify him). It’s still very obvious that the life of Malcolm Little (May Allah mercify him) still grabs our attention, and intrigue, even after his death.… Continue reading
