Disturbing & Sad (But Also Awkwardly Funny?)

I am personally against sharing such links giving them more popularity with number of views on youtube. One can argue on either side but especially in Ramadan its good to try to avoid things which don't benefit people.
I would urgue that it is useful because it gives everyone an idea of the ignorance and fear out there. Especially for Muslims, it gives us an idea of all the work that still needs to be done.
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.
