Bleeding the Muslim Body: Modernity, Iran, and Neocolonialism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are in the last week of Ramadan. Like other recent Ramadans, this month has been consumed by the blur and devastation of war. For how many Muslims will this Ramadan have been their last? The lands of Islam are so blood-stained. If Islam is a body, it is so plain and obvious to see how bloodied and bruised this body is. Not only in the past ten or twenty years, nor even in the last fifty or one hundred years. The Muslim body has been repeatedly attacked since the dawn of modernity and colonial
Your Deeds are Waiting for you Quietly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What a simple idea. It is so simple and straightforward, so rational and logical. This is the idea that as you have been born, so you will die.

Read excerpt
We stand on the Prophet’s pulpit, struggling with the range of emotions and thoughts that flood the mind of any conscientious Muslim. One of the most irksome things for a conscientious Muslim is the sheer number of things that do not flood the minds of so many of their fellow Muslims. I want to share some of the most pressing issues that should be hammering at the door of our consciousness, demanding urgent and immediate attention. For if we do not open that door and deal with these realities, t
The Moral Test: As You Are, So Your Leaders Will Be (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I start by sharing a story which, to my mind, has been largely forgotten. An Egyptian student named Abdallah Higazy once came to the U.S. to study computer engineering. He was residing in New York at the time of the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Like everyone else, he was terrified when the planes crashed into the buildings, and he left his hotel until it was deemed safe to return. Upon returning to his hotel, however, Higazy found the FBI waiting for him. The FBI then detained him on a material witness
