Last updated on: July 19, 2016 at 11:41 am By Hakeem Muhammad

Led by Donald Trump, the theme of this year’s Republican national convention “Make America Safe Again” is an objective that Muslims must play a pivotal role in achieving. From Trump’s proposed advocacy to ban Muslim Immigration to Newt Gingrich’s call to deport Muslims, Muslims are continuously framed as a threat to national security. The Muslim community has a serious issue with radicals who utilize extremist beliefs, motivating them to commit grotesque acts of violence completely unfit for the twenty-first... Read more

How Islamophobic Discourse Proves the Severity of Anti-Black Violence

Last updated on: July 12, 2016 at 11:54 am By Hakeem Muhammad

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has perpetrated Islamophobic fears by calling for a ban on Muslim immigration to the United States due to concerns about terrorism, when Black Muslims such as Omar Ibn Said, Bilal Muhammad, Abdurrahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori, and Ayuba Suileiman Diallo were forcibly brought to America against their will and terrorized on U.S. soil.

When I visit my grandmother in New-Orleans, I attend a Mosque that belongs to the community of Imam Warrith Deen Muhammad.
