What do you do when you have no hope left in anything that’s yours? When you realize everything that you loved is pitted against you? What do you do when you’re alienated, and cast aside?

There comes a time when you look at someone you’ve known for a long long while. And they’re talking to you. And you kind of tune them out and just start to actually look at them. You look at their eyes and their eyebrows and you notice a freckle for the first time and their nose and it hits you that they’re kind of beautiful. And then you smile a little bit to yourself and they ask...

I don’t care to have my religion accepted by the secular West or its media. Or the irreligious or non-Muslim, in general. I really don’t care. Support my hijab or don’t, it’s all the same. “Believe,” in my niqab, or don’t. I don’t know who gave you (or they, alienating pronouns are cool), the…

Mosque burned to the ground in Missouri.
Pig carcasses thrown at mosque in California.
Air rifle shots at mosque in Illinois.
Paintball attack against mosque in Oklahoma.
Acid attack against Islamic school in Illinois.
