Islam students at LUC

In response to wclark1 and some others as well, I find it really interesting how they feel that after confirmation, there isn’t really much left to Catholicism.  I appreciate how they feel that Islam and its five pillars are interesting and refreshing.  It truly is a sign of respect when others view your religion as [...]

Going along with reccos14, it is very unfair to Muslims the extent of the racial profiling.  But I do think that something can be done.  I feel like as a Muslim, it is your job to, if in a safe enough environment, try to clear misconceptions about your religion.  I was at a salon today [...]

In response to idk2012, a friend and I were discussing the theme of “mestizaje cultural y de religion” in Cuba and within the indigenous tribes of the Amazon. “Mestizaje” roughly translates to “mixtures of culture and religion” in English, and I not being of the Christian faith inquired about the significance of the Easter egg. [...]

I went to a leadership summit on campus over the weekend, and I realized how little the rest of the school knows about the Muslim Student Association.  I attended as a representative and tried to spread awareness about Islam.  By the end of the day, I felt like a left the others with a good [...]

In response to zel19 and beatlesbeatlesbeatles, I think Malaysia just has some very odd laws.  Islamically speaking, I’m pretty sure there is nothing wrong with adopting children. In Islam, it is actually ones duty to help others, especially orphans. I would like to read the original article and research its legitimacy because it sounds like [...]

I was not at the previous class but I heard that the class watched “The Interrupters”.  Supposedly it is a really great movie and I’m sad that I missed out.  However, my Thursday night was spent being entertained with Islam! The MSA hosted an Entertainment Night as part of their Islam Awareness Week.  Students showcased [...]

Although there wasn’t class last week, that doesn’t mean I didn’t learn about Islam! Actuallly, it does so disregard the first sentence.  But the previous week when we did have class, we spoke about social perceptions and how it can vary from region to region.  With this, we related it to how the language of [...]

I was so beyond disappointed with the end of “Mooz-lum”, it ended too abruptly and it was not expected.  It told too much about Tariq and  the effect the Islamic School, a psycho teacher and an equally psycho father had on his life, rather than telling the story of the plight of Muslims after 9/11 [...]

In the previous class, we had an overly stressed “discussion” about the reality of religion.  For some odd reason, the “discussion” became more of a debate and people unnecessarily started getting defensive which kind of made me tune everything out and get bored and annoyed.  But then we started watching “Mooz-lum” which seems like a [...]

In last Thursday’s class, we learned about some battles that concretely established the difference between the Medinan Muslims and the idolaters of Mecca.  I think something especially important was the lesson that the prophet really was the wise one.  Only when members of his force abandoned their posts against Muhammad’s direction, did the decline of [...]
