Welcome to The American Muslim Blog. This blog contains my expressions based on religion, politics, and social issues from the perspective of an American Muslim. I have no real intended purpose other than to express and or vent if you will my various thoughts and opinions in the context of who I am as an American Muslim.

Who knows, sometimes I may be right and sometimes I may be wrong, but most likely, I’m mostly right! :) Either way, enjoy my musings and feel free to discuss them with me if you want to.

As Salaam Alaikum
