So last year I spoke at the Young and Muslim in America event, one of ICNYU’s Shuruq events, and I did so by preparing for it only hours beforehand (I mentioned this a few post ago under the video from that event). This year, they had a similar program called Muslim Stories, and though I knew I wanted to speak, I figured I had told my story the year before, and I couldn’t think of anything worth sharing. I had no plans to speak. Then, like maybe an hour and a half before the event started, I was hanging out with my IC pals, and I was saying how jealous I am of hijabis getting to be all cool wearing hijab, and we brothers have nothing to compare to that. Then I started thinking of all these stories of me trying to be visibly Muslim and failing, and I realized it would make a great little speech, so I grabbed one of the computers and started jotting down ideas, and then right as the event was starting I took pictures of the screen with my phone so I could save what I’d written. Oh, also, I was filing the whole event, so while this is being recorded, the camera is left on the tripod unattended, and I flipped the screen forward to I could at least make sure I was centered in the shot while speaking. Everyone seemed to like my “Muslim Story,” and despite a couple of funnily awkward spots (eg. “the blacker the berry”), I think it was a success alhamdulillah. Well, you decide insha’Allah.
PS- Thank you hijabi sisters. There is so much fitna out there, especially in summer, and we really really appreciate you for wearing hijab. You are all amazing and wonderful and great, and stronger than so many of the brothers, especially those who easily “pass” for non-Muslim, when you don’t have that option. May Allah bless you and strengthen you, and remind you that all those girls out there got nothing on you, and you are the best dressed wherever you go! Allahu akbar!
A young Jewish American speaks out against Israel while in Israel and he is harassed by the police, then brutally pushed to the ground and arrested; so much for Israel is the only “free” state in the Mid-East
If this is how they treat American Jewish people who’ve dared to speak out, you can imagine how they must treat actual Palestinians-
You wanna talk about having balls of steel, this man has them.
i’m so scared to know what happened to him after this :(
