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 [...]

I actually wrote this rebuttal on a message board I frequent when this article was posted. I felt I had to share it with my readers because it could be of some use when analyzing that disturbing trend(s) ever present in our modern politic especially sensationalized writings being presented as facts or news. Here is [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
