Powerful Drawings
I believe these drawings are by an artist who goes by the name Latuff. I've had them for a while and thought I'd share them. I'm sure most of you have seen them, but I'm also sure others haven't. They are very powerful drawings with a powerful statement and meaning behind them. They represent the universality of the Palestinian suffrage and suffrage in general. I won't impose my interpretation, I'll leave that to you, but I hope you enjoy them and can use them for different projects.
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.
