CONGRESSMAN ANDRE CARSON (D-IN): "In this book, my friend Arsalan Iftikhar expertly examines the #Islamophobia that has gripped America & the world. As one of 3 #Muslim Members of Congress, I commend Arsalan for his thorough analysis of this global crisis" TheMuslimPlanet.com
What’s a movie scene that gets you every single time, no matter how many times you’ve watched it?
Not necessarily the saddest scene in a film, but one that hits you just as hard even when you know exactly what’s coming. Curious to hear which scenes have never lost their emotional impact for you.

Indonesia, Malaysia, Senegal, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Burkina Faso, Albania, Nigeria, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, Bosnia, the list goes on. Which shows how stupid of a question this is

Jan and Judy Johnson, grandparents of Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed, discuss their blended family and what it was like watching their grandson become elected to Congress.

It's not hard to see why James Talarico pulled off a landslide as a Democrat in Texas. Just look at his campaign materials. S-tier operation.

Hating Muslims Is Becoming A Losing Strategy.
My latest for RNS on how the anti-shariah fear mongering and war on Wudu stations backfired in these elections. Al hamdulilah :)

In 2006, Keith Ellison became the first Muslim elected to Congress. He was sworn in on Thomas Jefferson's Quran.
20 years later, 8 Muslims head to Congress: Andre Carson, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, Lateefah Simon, Aisha Wahab, Adam Hamawy, Darializa A Chevalier, Abdul El-Sayed.

You know what, we’re not.
Only when we’ve investigated and prosecuted the correct parties will we have the right to ask our allies to accept us.
If we don’t, this will happen again. Let’s show a little humility here.
FUN FACT: The first #Muslim senator in American history (@AbdulElSayed) already follows me on Twitter & I forgot to follow him back 🤦🏾♂️

Voters are rejecting Islamophobia a lot louder than many people in national media

Listen to El-Sayed. Yes, he's cocky. Yes, he doesn't hide his brains. He has enough confidence in himself and in his identity to let everyone know that he will never accept anything less than full equality. That he and people like him will redefine what it means to be American.
You know who he reminds me of: All those brash Jews who crashed through the barriers of antisemitism in the middle of the last century.
I am an American, Michigan-born.

‘Tonight we can turn that inshallah into alhamdulillah’.
Democrat Abdul El-Sayed gave an impassioned victory speech as he beat Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan senate race.
FUN FACT: The major news networks won't call the #MichiganSenate race for @AbdulElSayed until there are 107% of precincts reporting because maybe Mike Rogers can find 200,000 votes in a @Cheesecake Factory in the Upper Peninsula 🤷🏾♂️
