Masha’Allah, these pictures were very beautiful.

The first one reminded me of a story in which Imam Johari Abdul Malik went to visit President Clinton with a Kaffiyah. President Clinton said, “Oh wow, this is beautiful – where is it from?” And Imam Johari simply replied, “From Palestine…”

I thought nationalism was against Islam?.. What’s so Islamic about Flags on a cupcake?
http://imuslim.tv iMuslim

Oh yes, because there are no such thing as nations, tribes, boundaries, etc… we’re all one big homogeneous lump of Muslims, to the extent that a simple flag offends our sensibilities…C’mon! :)

Nationalism is the belief that one nation/race is superior to another. To recognise the reality of geography is hardly nationalism. The person who made the cupcakes was simply decorating them in line with the event: i.e., raising awareness of the occupation of Palestine.

About MuslimMatters

Muslimmatters.org began in 2007 as a collaboration between various Bloggers and Shuyukh in order to bring attention to issues faced by Muslims, especially in the West. We have focused on issues of Religion, Society, Ethics, Sex Education, Politics, Civil Rights, Family, as well as the random issues that pop up from now and then, all with some ranting and humor mixed in.

We challenge ourselves and our readers to engage in discourses that touch our lives as citizens of the West, while maintaining our individual Islamic identities: Ultimately to cooperate, but not to compromise.
