Muslim activists sharing their thoughts on everything from politics to paradise
Muslamics?
The term Muslamics is a cross between Muslims and Islamics, and makes light of the many erroneous labels placed upon Muslims.
As Muslims living in America, we are part of a daily struggle to define ourselves and forge new identities, at a time when our community, and specifically Muslim activists, are in the limelight. Part of this struggle is to reclaim our language.
We are proud to be Muslims and we believe it is part of our duty to convey to others who we are and what we stand for. Therefore, we will take the name Muslamics - originally used as a derogatory term against Muslims - and expose the ignorance behind it, as well as give it a new and positive meaning.

For the record (generally speaking, i.e. not so much about this post): I think that those who choose to commemorate 9-11 with silence and/or reflection should do so EVERYDAY.
Why everyday? Because a 9-11 is perpetuated in some "far off" country EVERY SINGLE DAY in our name.
If the members of Al Qaeda have splatters of blood on their hands, it is still relatively nothing compared to our collective guilt. Our hands are drenched in the blood of innocent people.
BarakAllahu feekum for all your hard work on the blog.
I am just confused about the silence on 9-11? Do we only observe silence and recognize the blood of innocent Americans? I know thousands of massacres and tragic events have occcurred on other days, so why should we ignore those events?
The Silence sounds strange to me...
