Little Mosque (One more day)

One more day until the third season of Little Mosque on the Prairie begins. The first episode better be good. If it sucks, I’m going to feel stupid for promoting it so much.

Changing Blogs is Like Changing Schools

I remember what it was like to graduate from one grade-level to the next. In my area that involved going to a new school. Just as soon as I was used to the envrionment I was in, it was time to go to a completely new place. During the first few weeks, it was hard to be myself. I would put on a different face while attempting to keep to myself. No boat rocking or saying/doing anything that would be out of the norm and attract unwanted attention my way. But after a while, I became attached to the new place and was able to easy into it naturally and grow within it. What does this have to do with blogging? Pretty much everything. I had a blog in another venue that only my friends read, although technically anyone could have accessed most of the posts. Over time I was able to write about whatever I wanted and not fearing if people didn’t like what I said.

I’m having some difficulty getting used to my new venue. I have been relatively good at showing my ‘true colours’, but not absolutely. I’m a very ‘unorthodox’ guy, especially when it comes to spirituality and religion. Thus, I have been somewhat playing to the ‘majority’ in regards to my Islamic posts, not rocking the boat and all that good stuff. I predict that I will feel comfortable in my new space in about a month. My posts will begin to have my ’stamp’ of personality on it, and they will be much more random.

Muslim Children Gassed at Dayton Mosque

I was appalled when I read this article a little while ago. Muslim children were gassed at a Mosque in Dayton last Friday, one week after that ‘Obsession’ DVD was sent out to millions of Americans across the country through newspapers and U.S. Mail. Oh, but I’m sure the creators of the video will say that it’s just a ‘coincidence’ that this act correlates with the DVD’s distribution. But I see no coincidence. When you teach hate, hateful actions are the result.

An Oral History of Islam in Pittsburgh (finality)

This is the last clip of the documentary ‘An Oral History of Islam in Pittsburgh.’

An Oral History of Islam in Pittsburgh (continued)

It turns out there is a version on YouTube that that consists of two videos, so I’ll post that. I’m going to attempt to steer away from putting up too many videos with my future posts. I just want to put something out there every day to keep it moving.

An Oral History of Islam in Pittsburgh

I’m debating whether or not to post a project entitled ‘An Oral History of Islam in Pittsburgh.’ On the one hand, the information is extremely valuable for understanding the history of Islam in the United States, but on the other hand it would require a lot of video-posts and I already have a lot of videos up here to begin with. Too many videos= Slow page loading for some computers. Maybe I’ll post just a few of the clips instead of the whole thing.

Little Mosque (two days left)

Two days until the third season of Little Mosque on the Prairie begins. I don’t have a cool picture for you to look at this time, sorry. But you can watch the previous clips I already posted.

Ya Imam

I have been writing an article about Warith Deen Mohammed since he passed away on September 9th, 2008. It’s taking me some time, but I’m almost finished and will post in separate parts so it will be easier to read.

Little Mosque (three days left)

Three more days until season three of Little Mosque begins. Here’s a clip. You’re cool.

Little Mosque (four days)

There are now four days remaining until the third season of ‘Little Mosque’ begins. The first episode is titled ‘Amaar At the Bat’, and it is supposed to reveal Rayyan’s answer to Amaar’s question of whether or not she is going to marry J.J.

Classic cliffhanger.

So, here’s a picture to look at.
