Not another Muslim Christmas Song!

Last updated on: December 26, 2017 at 12:20 pm By NbAMuslims

The holiday season in the United States seems to begin earlier every year. This year, people hastily took down their scary Halloween décor and replaced it with happy Christmas ones. Stores, offices, and other establishments pipe a steady stream of holiday songs, and almost everyone purses their lips to let out a constant refrain of “Happy Holidays!” Consequently, for many American Muslims, the season is saturated with pressures (including from inside some Muslim communities) to participate in events and activities...

Last updated on: December 17, 2016 at 11:21 pm By NbAMuslims

Black Muslims navigate discrete social intersections of religion, race, and national identity. As a subgroup of American Muslim culture, Black Muslims encompass a spectrum of national experiences, from the enslaved to immigrants.

False Attack Claims Reveal Muslim Youth Identity Crisis

Last updated on: December 16, 2016 at 7:59 am By NbAMuslims

False claims of anti-Muslim attacks potentially shed skepticism on any report made by Muslims. The broader society is inclined to ignore issues of racism, xenophobia, and gendered violence, all of which serve as catalysts for such attacks. Instead, there is a demand to have Muslims, especially Muslim women, provide a steady stream of incidents to feed a national preoccupation that portrays them as defenseless. Police recently discovered that a young Muslim college student lied that she was harassed on a subway by... Read more

Live Discussion: Prayer and Pepper Spray: American Muslim Women Safety

Last updated on: December 8, 2016 at 4:55 pm By NbAMuslims

The increase of attacks on Muslim women across the country once again raises questions about the safety of Muslim women, hindrances on their autonomy, and the importance of dialogues about defense of self in American Muslim Communities. The of aggression against easily-identified covered Muslim women and prevalent media portrayal of them as perpetual victims also regenerates the need to address issues of the politicization of hijab, examine national narratives stereotyping us as feeble, and foster a shift from victimization to...
