Muslim Men Offer Relationship Advice to Women

Last updated on: May 6, 2017 at 9:17 am By NbAMuslims

by Layla Abdullah-Poulos When I read the Facebook status of Muslim marriage counselors Naaila and Hassan Clay asking Muslim brothers to give relationship advice to Muslim women, I grabbed my coffee and began scrolling. Sure, there are plenty of times that men will freely tell women what they should do and be to “make a man happy.” Typically, such internet advice is grating and really does not shine a positive light on the men giving it, but it still piqued...

Muslims, Say No to Events Erasing Black Muslims

Last updated on: April 28, 2017 at 7:09 pm By NbAMuslims

Another day, and yet another Muslim conference ripe with anti-Black tone deafness and erasure. Last weekend the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) hosted its 42nd convention.

Hard Choices of Being Black and Muslim

Last updated on: April 28, 2017 at 7:11 pm By NbAMuslims

By Layla Abdullah-Poulos Black Muslims encounter layers of aggression that assail their ability to traverse through society unharassed and with dignity. I was in dire need of safety pins. Although it may seem incredible that a person can be desperate about something like safety pins, I am confident that my Muslim sisters understand the urgency at which I traveled to the store. The parking lot was full of cars, and I scanned up and down its aisles searching for a... Read more

WHM: White American Muslim Women Building Bridges

Last updated on: March 30, 2017 at 7:18 am By NbAMuslims

By Layla Abdullah-Poulos White Muslim women are a growing demographic in American Muslim culture.

White American Muslim women frequently marry within their faith but outside of their race, which necessitates the need to develop cultural competency about their marginalized coreligionists. White American Muslim women also find it necessary to hone a keen awareness of how their socio-political placement as privileged Whites in... Read more

American Muslim Women Say No to EU Hijab Ban

Last updated on: March 16, 2017 at 1:30 pm By NbAMuslims

NEW YORK – The European Court of Justice ruling, allowing employers to ban hijab, has been casting shadows on Muslims worldwide. Critics of the ban consider it part of multiple legislation in Europe targeting Muslim women’s outfit, as part of a broad campaign of discrimination against Muslims globally. Many Muslim racial justice, social justice, and human rights activists in the United States consider the recent ban another example of increasing xenophobic and extremist anti-Muslim bias. “I’m not surprised.
