Muslim Media Activism, Circa 1998

Last updated on: May 24, 2017 at 10:03 am By irfanrydhan

In 1998, I had been out of college (UC Berkeley) for 1 year and was living in Oakland, CA. After a year of working, I decided to join my friend Javaid, who recently got his degree in Radio & TV Broadcasting from SFSU to start a Video Production Company to serve the needs of the American Muslim Community (we wanted to make a feature film, but ended up making wedding videos instead). As there were always negative stereotypes of Muslims... Read more

Dubai: A Halal Foodie’s Paradise

Last updated on: February 10, 2017 at 12:30 pm By irfanrydhan

I recently went on a family vacation to Dubai and stayed there for a little over 2 weeks. Dubai is known for many things, including extravagance as well as incompetence, but almost everyone agrees that it is one of the best places in the world for foodies. Being a “Halal Foodie” myself (someone who only eats Halal food), I of course ate a bunch of American “Fast Food”, since I can rarely eat that here in the United States. But... Read more

How to Hang on to your Faith in College

Last updated on: December 19, 2016 at 11:02 am By irfanrydhan

Whether you are studying on campus or for a remote program such as an online RN to BSN degree, having a religious faith can often be tough at college. No matter which faith you follow or what your beliefs are, many college students often find it more difficult to continue attending church or other religious gatherings, and many put their faith on the back-burner in favor of making new friends and putting time into studying for their degree. However, there’s... Read more

Construction Costs for Mosques in Trump’s America

Last updated on: November 22, 2016 at 2:42 pm By irfanrydhan

The aftermath of the election of Donald Trump for President of the United States has brought more attention to parts of the country, which for many have been largely ignored by mainstream media: Middle America. Some of the strongest support for Trump came from Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee. Although they do not all fall under the category of Middle America, they do have very similar characteristics: Small towns, where many people are middle class, traditional family values, some...

The Birth of a Nation: Film Review

Last updated on: October 7, 2016 at 4:23 am By irfanrydhan

Recently my friend, Nizar Ahmed and I had a discussion on facebook about the new movie by Nate Parker called “The Birth of a Nation” which is the story of a slave rebellion in 19th Century America led by Nat Turner. Nizar believed the new film was a “remake” of the 1915 American Silent film of the same name (The Birth of a Nation) by D.W. Griffith, which was a pro-Confederacy, Anti-Black film which portrayed the Ku Klux Clan (the... Read more

Why I Eat Halal Food (Part 1)

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 12:53 am By irfanrydhan

I started eating fully Halal when I was about 16 years old. At that time most of my Muslim friends did not eat fully Halal and it was only after learning about Halal in Sunday school that I started to take it more seriously. When I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s there were not many Halal restaurants in the Bay Area – except for one or two Muslim Chinese spots and a couple of Indian-Pakistani restaurants. In...
