Assalamallikum . . . and give thanks you are not a Woman-in-Poland Today's, the 7th's, DeutscheWelle news had a feature on the repression on women, but then has no web site article to go with the report. The prompt for the reporting: Now the Polish Misogyny . . . errrrr . . . Parliament, Congress whatever, wants to withdraw from a treaty that bans beating women. l did a news search and found no coverage by the Western media muddleheads. The Polish Misogyny, whatever, is disgusting. Please cite you info and the bais for your opinion.

Bismillah Rahman Raheem. I am absolutely heartbroken after finding out Anti-Majos 3 had made a video entitled “when fake matam turns real!!” and making comments from the contributors with things about God being pleased with those who did (killing the Shias in that shooting video) or bringing a scholar who says that the only solution for the Shias is to kill the men, take their women as captives and enslave their children (I think the name was specifically Rami Issa). What is the sick and disgusting stuff? Did their prophet (saws) hurt the Jews and Christians during his time? The prophet only ever fought in a battle after being expelled with his followers from their homes, getting harassed and looted constantly, having the peace treaties broken and absolutely being oppressed! Now can anyone tell me when did the Shias do that? I think we need to report these channels for their hate speech which is a CLEAR crime. If the police will not listen then at least we have to try and take down these hate-inspiring videos and channels by reporting it on YouTube and Google. Who is with me and willing to help do this? Anti-majos production even called Imam Mahdi a “rat” in one of the YouTube comments when they themselves should believe in his appearance. Absolutely disgusting and sickening. What a great shame they bring to Islam for their fighting and enmity towards the other sects!

Assalamu alaykum everyone and Eid Mubarak!! This is mainly directed to the hijabi sisters but anyone is free to offer advice. Brief context: I started wearing the hijab at 17 (Now going onto 19) alhamdulilah and I didn’t know before hand that it was fully obligatory, coming from a non practicing and more so spiritual family. Also, that apparently one should start wearing hijab (khimar) at the age of 9/10 (correct me if I’m wrong). Since I’ve worn the hijab I’ve been receiving a fair share of Islamophobia (living in the West kind of makes you a target). Specifically even today on my way home which inspired me to write this post. However alhamdulilah my convinction for the hijab grows stronger after each event and I’ve gotten over that phases of uncertainty about hijab a while back thanks to clear evidence and logic. Do any of the sisters observing the hijab have any advice on dealing with such situations? Also, if anyone wants to share their stories your more than welcome to. Jazak’Allah.

So this just happened to me today; I had gone to mosque and as I was leaving, I was driving down this pretty quiet road, nothing really around me, I could see this white man from a little distance as I was driving, I didn't really pay much attention to him at the time. As I drove past him however, I suddenly heard a huge noise like I had crashed into something. I looked around to see if there's anything around me and there was nothing, I was wondering what the heck I hit. I was driving at about 20-25 mph, because being in the middle of the road I could not stop anywhere, and as i was driving forward I caught a glimpse of this man in my overhead mirror with what appeared to be some kind of bat/bar, I couldn't tell what exactly it was. But now I was in a real dilemma, I couldn't stop being in the middle of the road and if I did stop and got out then I wondered what if the dude ran up and damaged more of the car, or he attacked me with the weapon? So I decided to just keep driving to a space where I could stop the car and inspect the damage itself, thankfully he didn't damage much apart from the rearview side mirror, the casing came off and the glass was shattered. I'm pretty sure since I had just left the mosque, which is pretty obvious is a mosque, the man knew I was muslim and this is why he attacked. Sigh, I'm grateful to God that it wasn't as bad as it could have been, but its still shocking when it happens to you personally, relative to when you hear about it in the news.

This is not an american hero: This is an American Hero:

An Indian engineer was killed in a shooting in a Kansas City bar on Wednesday, an attack that some eyewitnesses said could be racially motivated. Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, died at a hospital and his colleague, also an Indian, sustained bullet injuries after a white man opened fire in the crowded suburban bar. Adam Purinton, 51, the alleged shooter, thought they were Middle Easterners and was heard telling them to “get out of my country” at the time of the shooting. He was charged with murder and attempted murder on Thursday. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/02/kansas-city-shooting-investigated-hate-crime-170224063319878.html
