Sex & the Ummah: Innocence Lost
Walk into the toy store, and you’ll find “baby” dolls dressed in clothing reminiscent of prostitutes’ outfits. Walk into the clothing store, and prepubescent girls are already being introduced to tank tops, mini skirts, and items of clothing that were once reserved for mature women.
But hey, this is nothing new. It’s been around for a […]
Why Don’t You Dress Like Us?
On the Houston Chronicle’s Talking Tolerance blog I read this post, in which the author’s friend makes a comment along the lines of what I heard at last November’s elections. The question is, “Why don’t they just dress like us?” “They” refers to Muslim women wearing hijab.
It’s a question that reeks of ignorance, frankly, but […]
Homeschooling: On NY Times’s Stereotyping
For once, MM is slightly behind on an interesting and relevant news story - you can blame me for that, though!
The notorious Neil MacFarquhar recently wrote an article in the NYT about Muslims turning to homeschooling - with the now-typical negative slant, making it seem as though the only reasons for which Muslim […]
Join Fight Against Deportation of Imam Mohammad Qatanani
Sister Bint Ali sent us this document about Imam Qatanani, who has become yet another victim of Israel’s strong influence in this country. We should all support our Imams and our scholars in these times of fitnah. It doesn’t matter whether or not this Shaykh or that Shaykh is 100% inline with our individual methodologies. […]
Islam surpasses Roman Catholicism as World’s Largest Religion
The Ummah is growing quite healthily, alhumdulillah, and according to the Vatican, the world Muslim population now exceeds that of Roman Catholics (not all Christians).
I remember while having ice cream with Shaykh Yasir in Chicago, he mentioned that the majority of the Ummah, particularly here in the West, are under the age of five. This […]

Fitna?
So Geert Wilder’s video Fitna has finally been released onto the internet. And what a reaction there has been.
Network Solutions pulled the site that was supposed to be hosting the film. Techcrunch is worried that Google might experience a “Muslim backlash”. Live Leak, who originally hosted the film, have now pulled it […]
Literacy Tests for White Voters
Although America has made great strides in civil rights, the legacy of our racist past still lingers. It is not easy to change the trajectory of a society simply by granting equal rights to historically oppressed minority groups. There must be compensatory measures. For nearly 50 years, black Americans have enjoyed voting rights nearly equal […]
Unfair Dealing: The Toronto Homegrown Terror Threat
Seems like Canada has been following suit in creating its own terrorist threats, in order to pad the security budgets and help fear-politics. Notice also how, like the other setups and entrapments in America, Muslim traitors are hired and paid significant amount of money in order to con other Muslims into “terrorist plots”.
I don’t know […]
Are You on THE List? About DHS Watch-Lists & How to Get Off them
The scenario is always chillingly the same with little variation. You – typically a Pakistani or Arab American (although generally any Muslim will do) - have just finished a grueling transatlantic flight where you may have been doing anything from taking a European vacation, to visiting family, to doing business, etc. You are excited to […]
