Today I found out that a Gazan friend of mine—whom I met at a program for Arab youth in Istanbul in 2019—was murdered by an Israeli airstrike while praying maghrib at the mosque. He was such a gentle, kind person. Just days ago, he asked program alumni to pray for Palestine.

it's obviously fine if you think the hagia sophia should be a museum rather than a mosque or vice versa, but there's really no good explanation for the global drama about this and the language being used except, well, islamophobia. (1/)

given that the us military is so overfunded, it's pretty ridiculous that they haven't been able to hire social media managers good enough to know that i am a very bad target for recruitment ads

Their Islamic discourse, which they claim is "more authentically Islamic" because it "lacks the modern biases" that the rest of us have, is utterly devoid of the humility, compassion, and contextual nuance that is so central to good Islamic reasoning.

A number of NYC’s Muslim elders and grassroots organizers will not be accepting Eid greetings from local officials unless they come with an explicit condemnation of Israel’s violence against Palestinians and Al-Aqsa. Until our pain is affirmed we do not want your “Eid Mubarak.”

Eid mubarak everyone! Remember that the ummah is a body -- if one part of it is hurting, all of it is. On this day of all days, let's keep fighting for justice, from East Turkestan to Palestine ✊🏽✊🏽
