So, A Muslim and a Jewish Girl Get Up on Stage….

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:13 am By Posted by The Editors

This slam poetry video is making the rounds and is too moving not to share. Amina Iro and Hannah Halpern performed this piece at the Brave New Voices 2013 Slam in Washington, DC There is nothing like a Muslim girl and a Jewish girl collectively breaking it down, powerfully explaining that the two identities have more in common than most realize. We also take this opportunity to send our Jewish friends warm Passover greetings, and we are holding a... Read more

There is so much buzz in the Muslim community right now between #hashtag activism and the emergence of several vibrant online communities. We want to introduce you to some digital conversations that which we feel are taking the narrative of Islamic identity and Muslim experience to a new level (even to offline potential). MuslimARC.org is the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative that highlights issues of race (and its construction) within the Muslim community by focusing on education, outreach, and advocacy. In February, MuslimARC sponsored Twitter... Read more

Crying and Reclamation

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:14 am By Posted by The Editors

I am not always strong. There are times that I experience steep slopes of sadness. This doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, the sorrow arrives as crude, impolite explosions. I don’t have everything together, no matter what type of confidence seeps out of my writing. I spend most of my time struggling from paycheck-to-paycheck, too poor to actually date should anyone ever ask me out. I’m always in a suspended state of fear that this is all my... Read more

A Married Woman

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:14 am By Posted by The Editors

Eds note: Welcome our newest www.patheos.com/blogs/loveinshallah columnist, Huda Al-Marashi! Keep an eye out for Huda’s column, “Things I Wish I’d Known” the second Tuesday of every month! When I was growing up, my Iraqi-born mother responded to my requests to travel alone, consider schools out-of-state, or stay out late with friends with the same answer, “When you get married.” Once I got married, I’d be somebody else’s problem. Then, it wouldn’t be her place to tell me no. Then, it would... Read more

Friday Love – Technicolor Muslimah

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:14 am By Posted by The Editors

We are happy to spread the word about a new project by Saba Barnard that includes the numerious diverse faces of American Muslim women. Visit Technicolor Muslimah and consider being part. Call for Subjects I was included in a list of beautiful photographs of American Muslim women: If you scroll down to the comments section, there is a pretty clear and legitimate concern with this list – the women who have been left out.

Half Agony, Half Hope

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:14 am By Posted by The Editors

“Do you have any children?” a nice woman making small talk asks me. I reply pleasantly, “No, I don’t,” but my inner monologue is racing. “Children? I don’t have children because I don’t have a husband. I don’t have a husband because I never had a romantic relationship with a guy. I never had a boyfriend, I’ve never even been kissed and I’m way older than Drew Barrymore was when she was in that movie with Michael Vartan! I’m older... Read more

On Cosmos, Smallness, Divinity, and Love

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:14 am By Posted by The Editors

When K turned on the new show Cosmos, I was hesitant. A show about the infinite universe? With cartoons? And the opening sequence. Something about it took me back to middle school when my science teacher, too busy grading to bother with teaching, stuck in a Bill Nye video. I picked up my moleskine and pen, prepared for boredom, except the show wasn’t boring at all. Neil deGrasse Tyson delved into time, the nature of the universe, and our place... Read more

#IfKhadijaCanDoIt or The Patriarchy of Death

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:14 am By Posted by The Editors

The first time I walked up the sidewalk to the front door after “it” happened, I was surprised. I had expected my house to be covered by gloom, and fear of the oozing grief had pushed me away. Through the shadow wrapping around my hung head, my eyes caught the bright orange nasturtium flowers lining the flowerbed in front of my parents’ rundown California ranch house. They were lush, ballooning into the green grass. I paused, feeling the stark contrast... Read more
