I know that some people say that this beard, or this niqab are “just a shell,” an outer covering, and by “shell” they mean something of no value. Ok, I’ll suppose that it’s just a shell, but I want to ask a question, a question which I know the answer to and which everybody on the face of the earth will answer just as I do: “Have you ever seen a core exist without a shell?”
I mean, a banana – could a banana ever be this way without its peel? An orange, an ear of corn, a grain of rice, a grain of barley, anything? A tree, with its bark, could the tree ever exist without a shell? This is something nobody would claim, there could never be a core without a shell.

It seems Muslim women have taken a liking to being like the west…what they don’t realize, is they have everything to lose.
‘Women of this society were told by their feminist mothers…”Do something with your life; don’t depend upon a man to take care of you; don’t make the same mistakes I did.” So they have [...]
I recently learned of a planet two galaxies from earth which is quite different than ours. The planet is covered in light blue hair, which grows out of the ground. A yellow liquid, which is said to look like ice cold lemonade, fills their ponds and runs from their taps. On this planet, lives a [...]

THE REALITY
Between the Israeli assault on Lebanon and the Zionist “war on terror,” the Muslim world is now center stage in every American home. I see the carnage, death and destruction that have befallen Lebanon, but I also see something else: I see you. I can’t help but notice [...]
