Book Review: The Character Assassination of Malcolm X
“A Life of Reinvention” was supposed to epitomise the amazing transformation Malcolm underwent from deep down in the gutter of humanity to one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. Instead, this biography has ended up as a reinvention too far.
Another Miscarriage of Justice: The Sentencing of Tarek Mehanna
I reiterate here what has been expressed by many others: for as long as I have known Tarek, I have known him to be kind, caring, and upstanding individual. In his sentencing hearing, he gave a powerful and moving speech which made evident that no matter the charges leveled against him, he would not compromise his beliefs.
Princeton’s Robert George and Islam
Princeton University professor and political philosopher Robert P. George has recently become a target of controversy, accused by some of being anti-Muslim. The critics have cited only the report Fear Inc. : The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America by Wajahat Ali which draws attention to the role of the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation in making grants to some vehement (and, in my view, misguided) critics of Islam and of leading Muslim organizations. George serves as one of eleven members on the Board of the Bradley Foundation.

M. Elibiary | FBI Training, the Ackerman Exposé & American Muslim Community Concerns
18 September, 2011
by Mohamed Elibiary Civil Rights, Interacting with Law Enforcement, Islamophobia 21 comments
Mohamed Elibiary, Advisor to the Homeland Security Enterprise advises the Muslim community about Wired Magazine’s, Spenser Ackerman’ s expose on FBI Counter-Terrorism training at Quantico. “As a liaison between the FBI and the Muslim community, I can attest that there is nothing new in Spenser’s reporting and could add volumes more to it of FBI wrongdoings; none the less, it has been disquieting and demoralizing for someone in my position to watch the ripple effects upon our community’s psyche.”
