Islam students at LUC

Another thing that bothers me about Malcom X’s autobiography is when he goes into talking about how the Christian God was created by the white race. Both the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim God all come from the Abrahamic religion, so this God that he claims to be the black person God, is in fact the [...]

I find this act of terrorism so disturbing. A friend of mine actually had to spend the Thanksgiving holiday weekend worrying about his son. His son was visiting Mumbai, India with his fiance who was introducing him to her family when the attacks began. Fortunately, they both were alright and able to get out of [...]

its people like this that make me mad in the muslim world. i mean, how would he know about all this stuff if he hasn’t seen it himself? haha, websites that adorn man/animal marriages? great…do you have proof? or do you just want us to believe it because you told us? this guys also is [...]

its a time in india where everyone is on the edge of their seat. who did it? why did they do it? the unimaginable tragedy has sparked many problems throughout the world. in pakistan, many riots have started forming in response to (but not limited to) the mumbai attacks. the question in the air is [...]

As Hajj is approaching, I have received a few different emails about upcoming Islamic rituals during the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah.  One of them was that fasting for the first ten days is equivalent to fasting for an entire year.  Another was a hadith saying that the Prophet Muhammad (S) said [...]

I’ll be honest, when I first started reading this book, I thought it was going to be boring and torturous to get through. But I’m almost finished with it now, and I hate to admit it, but I really like it. I had no idea Malcom Little had to transform so much through his like [...]

Whoa. . . that last post was sad I’m sorry to hear that horrific events are still occurring throughout the world today. I feel a strong sense of gratitude for the privilege to live in a safe and non-hostile environment; and to be able to have equal opportunities to education and jobs that many women [...]
