A Muslim-American Story

Last updated on: February 16, 2017 at 1:44 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Aamir Quraishy On January 20th, the president of the UnitedStates passed an executive order that banned refugees from Libya, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and Somalia from entering the United States. While there have been many stories about refugees, I’d like to share with you the story of my Muslim community and myself. I am a US citizen. I was born and raised in America. The two flags I have always held dear to my heart are America’s star spangled banner and Arizona’s copper star, sunset stripes and Colorado... Read more

Last updated on: February 10, 2017 at 9:17 am By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Imam Rizwan Khan The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association has been conducting a successful #MeetAMuslim campaign across the country where our youth take to the streets to introduce themselves to the community and spread peace and understanding. Taking note of this campaign, an anti-Islam website called JihadWatch put together a set of questions for their readers to ask: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/01/hugh-fitzgerald-im-a-muslim-ask-me-anything. Several of the questions are poorly formed or based on unfounded assumption; nevertheless, here are brief answers to all of their... Read more

Trump’s Ban Has Brought Us Together

Last updated on: February 9, 2017 at 10:25 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Anique Tahir As an American Muslim, this past year has filled my head with doubt and questions. Will my family face bigotry based merely on the faith we should otherwise have the freedom to follow? How can I show my fellow Americans that Islam is a religion of peace and solidarity? This past week, President Trump has helped answer and clear some of the doubt and questions that shrouded my mind. It has been truly humbling to witness the... Read more

Letter to an American-Muslim Child

Last updated on: February 9, 2017 at 8:36 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

By Dr. Bilal Rana My dear son, Assalaamo Alaikum. With all that’s going on, it’s time for a father-son talk. A lot of people are saying Muslims are bad. I want you to know you’ve done nothing wrong and have no reason to be ashamed. You see, sometimes we adults forget what it’s like to be a child. Mark Twain once wrote “Nothing that troubles us can be called little. A... Read more

Where Omer Aziz Goes Wrong: A Look At The History Of Early Islam And The Caliphate

Last updated on: January 15, 2017 at 10:31 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Labeeb Ahmad As a devout Muslim who doesn’t believe Islam needs to be reformed, but instead Muslims themselves, some of Omer Aziz’s words in What ISIS Really Is are agreeable – that ISIS is not Islam, that Islam is not a monolith, and that many factors come to play when discussing extremist organizations. However, with his cliffhanger questioning regarding the nature of Islam and his subtle jabs at the “Rightly-Guided Caliphs,” Aziz’s conclusions require serious scrutiny. Who determines what...

Preventing Anarchy in Society: The Islamic Solution

Last updated on: January 13, 2017 at 1:39 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Seidu Malik In 2016, we witnessed an unprecedented level of violence against citizens. Men and women who have sworn to defend the community during day and night as well as adverse weather conditions tragically lost their lives in the line of duty. At unprecedented rates, civilians with no training or possession of firearms lost their lives at the hands of some law enforcement personnel. These unfortunate developments set of chains of violent demonstrations across the country and soul searching... Read more

Social Unrest Threatens World Peace

Last updated on: January 1, 2017 at 10:00 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Nayyar Ahmed Social unrest is now the narrative of the day, a new ‘order’ that extremists are dictating for the world to follow. As we ease into our holiday season, the Grinch is always lurking around the corner, ever ready to pounce at us with a rude surprise. The truck attack in Berlin and the cold-blooded assassination of the Russian ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov and the ensuing grotesque images of the assassin standing next to the body are...
