Is Islam under attack?
May 5
A phobia (from the Greek: φόβος, phóbos, meaning “fear” or “morbid fear”) is an intense and persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, animals, or people. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive and unreasonable desire to avoid the feared stimulus. When the fear is beyond one’s control, and if the fear is [...]
Sheila Musaji at The American Muslim (TAM) posted a wonderful piece entitled “Haiti and the “Heartless” Muslims?” where she exposes lies that seem to have no limits as it relates to Muslims and our Haitian Relief efforts. If there were ever a time to stay away from grinding the proverbial religious/ideological axe it should be in [...]
CAMPBELL BROWN President Obama’s War Doctrine; American Terrorists in Pakistan? Aired December 10, 2009 – 20:00 ET I woke up to an email mentioning these comments this morning, and at first I was going to ignore the video link and go on about my day. I already believed that Franklin Graham was the type [...]
We have all heard the news by now. The swiss voted and passed legislation that would ban the construction of minarets on Mosques. Some are calling this decision racist, some are calling it a violation of human rights, some are calling it another sign that Islamophobia is spreading throughout Europe, and I’m calling it a [...]
I decided to write on this topic due to recent allegations levied toward me yet again. I have never felt a need to deal with this topic directly as I believed my writings to be evidence of where I stand on various issues. However, in order to clear up a few questions and allegations considering [...]
Let me clearly state a few notable facts that I hope will guide those that may come to this blog with critical commentary as a result of the inevitable ruckus my post may create: 1. I am NOT a Scholar of Islam, nor have I ever claimed to be, I’m just a friendly neighborhood American [...]
Muslims Must Condemn Religious Extremists by Sheila Musaji I am reading and hearing in the media a barrage of articles and editorials demanding that Muslims take a stand against those who condone or commit acts of violence. I would like to go on record as condemning all religious extremism, bigotry, violence, hatred, and terrorism by [...]
My commentary is a response based on the following article from Sheila Musaji: Anti Muslim Rhetoric Reaching a Dangerous Level What would my commentary be if I were still Christian and analyzing this Ft. Hood tragedy? Well I’m certain it would be inline with the Christianity I was taught, the very same Christ-like beliefs that [...]
Certainly the dust has not settled over the massacre in Fort Hood, and we still have more questions than we have answers, but I have to admit I’m getting tired of the whole commentary on the issue of scary Muslims out to destroy Americans. In no way do I want to diminish the very real [...]

So I had this intense interview about a month ago and it turned up on YouTube! Go figure Seriously, America Abroad Media contacted and wanted to discuss with me many, many, things, chief among them my conversion to Islam, while much of the interview (yes it was longer) was edited out (thank God) I’m [...]
i would like to know why you left the christian faith? what you have against Jesus? why do you not like jesus? The above were two comments posted to my about page last month. I haven’t approved them, because I just didn’t know the appropriate response (I don’t approve all comments, you wouldn’t believe some [...]
The truth is that every one of these items can be an entire article in and of itself. Perhaps in the future we will tackle these matters in more detail. For now, we present a brief synopsis addressing some crucial facts about Islam that every Christian should know. : Islam does not teach or command [...]

Normally, I post an article reflecting on my conversion to Islam and reflect on the impact 9/11 had on that decision, but today I have decided to sum up my reflection with May God Bless America and all humanity and give us all the strength, wisdom, and compassion to rid the world of all forms [...]
My son is four months old this Ramadan, which makes me slightly disappointed. Not that he’s here, or that he’s healthy- no, I’m quite grateful for that. But he’s too young to be weaned, even partially, which means I’m deferring fasting for another year. I take the Qur’an’s recommendations for nursing rather seriously- two years [...]
So this morning I decided to whip out ye old iPhone to check the headlines and boy oh boy did I get three jaw droppers this morning! Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy dies after cancer battle First Senator Kennedy has died. It seems like a summer of famous deaths and we aren’t just talking about one [...]
Yesterday, as I lay in the bed sick (caught a cold this past weekend) I was reflecting on Ramadan and what it all means. Granted, you don’t have to come to this site to get any insight into the meaning of Ramadan btw . I was just pondering life in general and my experience as [...]

I am deeply saddened and pained by the news that at least 80 Muslims from the Ahmadiyyah sect were murdered in Pakistan by terrorists during Friday prayers. This great loss of humanity should reverberate throughout the Muslim world, however it won’t likely even be mentioned. Unfortunately, due to great ignorance and hypocrisy, my fellow Muslims [...]
