If the U.S. says it’s not a Coup, then I guess it’s not a Coup, huh?!!!
The United States is still not declaring the Coup in Egypt a Coup… …Oh, I wonder why? 1. Could it be because of all of the influence that the United States wants to maintain in Egypt, by supporting the military-fashioned dictators, whom all do the bidding of the United States? 2. Or, maybe it’s because… Continue reading

Fuck the Police-State!!!
Author’s note: This following poem is a commemoration, of the famous, classic Rap-Song, “Fuck The Police”, by the famous/infamous Rap-Group, known as “NWA/Niggas With Attitude”.

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.

Gareth Bryant’s advice on how to treat Women:
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, “A woman is like a rib: If you attempt to straighten it, it will break.”.(al-Bukahri/Riyadh-us-Salihin) Much more important than a rib, the Human female can/will break, if you treat a woman, any woman harshly: Don’t attempt to “straighten” or “fix” her-Women don’t need to be “straightened” or “fixed”; rather,… Continue reading

My thoughts on negative portrayls of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) inciting violence in the Muslim-World:
The recent attacks on U.S. Embassies in the Muslim-World, mainly in the Mideast, as a result of numerous negative, propaganda, short-films, caricatures, cartoons, pamphlets, novels, books, movies, shows, etc. negatively portraying Muhammad (Peace be upon him), has incited immense violence all across the Muslim-World, particularly, in places like Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and several other Muslim… Continue reading

My thoughts on the Street-Life!!!
Author’s note:The following poem is inspired by the realities of the street-life, which is unfortunately, often unjustly & unnecessarily glorified by media, via T.V. & film. This is a poem, which deems to compel people, especially the ever-impressionable youth, who may read it, to seriously contemplate the consequences of a gangster-life.Lookin’ down the barrel of… Continue reading

The Mercy of Allah Can Never be Measured by any of us
My story about how merciful Allah has been to me personally: I distinctly remember, a few years ago, as I was still struggling with my own ego & desires to become more religious, more of a true Muslim, I used to party a lot. It’s was like I was at every single jump-off-I was just… Continue reading

My thoughts on Columbus Day:
The following quote is in commemoration of Columbus Day: “Christopher Columbus set the precedent for Europeans to violently take the Americas from its Natives, yet he’s celebrated. If he were a Muslim, he would’ve been labeled a terrorist for his genocidal actions!!!” Gareth Bryant/2012 Continue reading
