It's becoming abundantly clear...
…that I have no idea how one is supposed to meet muslimahs, let alone find a wife. I really am clueless as to how that works. All I know is what I grew up with, which is dating, which is—well, haram. And I wasn’t even very good at that! Plus, all the cross-cultural stuff now…
Ya Allah. How did I get myself into this mess?

Defending Jim Crow in Palestine →
If the Israeli government is really ready for peace, as it claims, why is it importing horses from Belgium, amassing tear gas, and organizing militias with trained dogs in illegal settlements?
I've noticed that many (not all since I don't know...

Scrawled on the to-go box was a message that read ‘Happy September 11th’ with a plane flying into two towers. Mr Ghalayani, a Muslim, said he was working near the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001, and found the image disturbing.

This should be interesting, particularly given the point in my life I seem to have reached at this time. I’m not sure why she asked me to do the video recording for their vows—and I feel really bad saying this—but to be honest, I sort of wish I could be anywhere else in the world right now.
Like getting ready for Jum`ah!
