Do you have a vision…
What, like can I see?
No, do you have sight of where you want to be.
I live the days as they come, he says
What happens tomorrow – I can’t guarantee today
So why bother trying to be something I’m not
Striving towards an ends only to end up in a box.
If only lessons could be learnt through words
Life is an experience to be lived, not heard
Yet schooling seems to be the preferred option
Those high horses falling nearest the bottom.
I have a rough idea of the way out
Sketched in my head is an erroneous route.
The checkpoints are determined by ‘success’

I recently contacted American TV Channel ESPN:
Hi,
It appears that Dana Jacobson has been accused on several occasions for ‘hate speech’ against religious groups. Whilst I do not advocate some kind of radical action, I think it is your duty to look seriously into such issues.
As a Muslim I am offended that it is okay for presenters on mainstream television to be slandering any faith or belief. If claims are untrue, make that abundantly clear, otherwise you should take appropriate action.
They responded:
Thank you for writing,
Ms. Jacobson’s inappropriate comments were delivered...

If I swore I would swear, If I cursed I would curse
But instead I release into directed lines of verse
Stop messing with me, I don’t like to play games
I love my brother but do you even know my name
Who am I, what do I want to achieve in this life,
Or is it assumed because we all go through strife.
I hate being angry it’s from the devil you know
But every time this happens my heart turns cold.
We’re like a colony of ants without the strength
That could lead us from heaven at an arms length
Too far that is, not close enough to open up doors
We’re building walls – no we’re falling...

Enemy Combatant: A British Muslim’s Journey to Guantanamo and Back
Review
When I was in Year 10 in January 2005 I did a presentation to my English class on the indefinite detention of potentially innocent human beings in Gunatanamo Bay. Handing out some of the few pictures actually available from the media and articles describing the horrific events that took place in Guantanamo to the class showed some interest, in particular a cutting from a newspaper highlighting the release of...

No – it doesn’t, but believe me thats what the media would twist this into (especially if words like Islam, Abdul or Osama were involved). Honestly if this happened to me I would probably be in Guantanamo.
Read the story about how a world of warcraft geek got a taste of being a Muslim on an Aeroplane here! – Thanks Tibault.

For those of you who haven’t watched Galloway ripping the hell out of a Sky News reporter about the situation in Lebanon, I’ve uploaded it to YSE. We should be eternally thankful that there is at least one known politician out there defending the truth whilst the rest of them sit and support the propagandist media defending the real terrorists in this world.

Peace, theres a cool site and a really good flash video which is encouraging people, largely kids in America not to join their army which is killing thousands of innocents and essentially could cost you your life. Check it out!

Recently I spoke about questioning why. I was trying to make a point – things aren’t always as they seem. The violence in Iraq isn’t stopping, far from it. Let’s question why.
‘Suicide’ bombers are probably the world’s biggest fear. Let’s start by breaking the media-imposed phrase down. You see, suicide is a word associated when someone wishes to end their own life. In my opinion calling anyone who kills themselves to kill others ‘suicidal’, is wrong. Of course the term is only used because it incites fear in ones mind, someone who wants to kill...
