Breaking stereotypes in an era of terror
–––
The 46th weekend of 2015 was marred by synchronized acts of global terror.
In the midst of our mutual mourning, fingers were pointed and decisions were made.
When the language of war is used against an enemy who depends on it, the same outcome is inevitable.
War never changes. The way we look at each other can.
Muslim Man
by Karter Zaher/Jae Deen
Making dhikr all night
Praying for an angel to be in my life
I am just tryna do it right
And I’ll do anything for a righteous wife
I be praying all night
I wanna turn up in Paradise
I be praying all night
I swear I’ve been bearded all my life
No, I’m not a terrorist
