Last updated on: October 2, 2017 at 9:17 am By Guest Contributor

Embed from Getty Images By Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. – Proverbs, 31:8-9 As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.

And Then I Cried – Election 2016 Reflections

Last updated on: December 7, 2016 at 6:15 pm By Guest Contributor

By Sabeeha Rehman It was 5:00 a.m., and the Empire State Building was lit up in blue. Blue! Could it really be? Miracles do happen. Four years ago, I had gone to bed well before the election results were called out. Early next morning, I looked out the window and saw the majestic Empire State Building gleaming in blue. I knew then that Barack Obama had won the election. Perhaps Hillary picked up the outstanding votes in Ohio, Michigan... Read more

Last updated on: November 13, 2016 at 8:12 pm By Guest Contributor

By Engy Abdelkader Tuesday’s presidential election results proved traumatic for a number of Muslim Americans. Almost immediately a spectrum of emotions reigned — fear, confusion, uncertainty, disbelief, affirmation and even, determination. Like other Americans, many of us are shocked that misogyny, racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia seemingly prevailed – embodied in a single individual who will now occupy the most powerful position in the world.

A Show Called Trumpmania

Last updated on: November 11, 2016 at 10:21 pm By Guest Contributor

By Kari Ansari Something called “media” provided a little, little narcissistic man with extreme insecurities a beautiful platform from which to speak; it was so beautiful it caught the attention of Joe Six Packs and Hockey Moms around the country. As he came down a golden escalator to speak to everyone from the shopping mall or wherever that cool place was, they leaned forward in their seats on the sofa and said, chuckling, “Wow, he’s outrageous! Did he just call... Read more

Election 2016: Muslim Americans Stand On a Precipice

Last updated on: November 2, 2016 at 5:51 pm By Guest Contributor

By Imam Mansoor Sabree Over the past couple of years, Muslim Americans have been experiencing a wave of Islamophobic abuse throughout the U.S. In a relatively short period of time, we have gone from isolated cases of Islamophobic attacks to the full blown mainstreaming of a nationwide Islamophobic discourse that threatens our social fabric. Islamophobic attacks against Muslims have increased dramatically since the terrorist attacks in Paris, Orlando, and San Bernardino and have been exasperated to a whole new level... Read more
