When protests erupted across the U.S. this summer, we acknowledged the right to protest for peace, but pointedly warned of the dangers of chanting in support of “Hamas’s rockets,” “Hezbollah’s” resistance,” and the “Houthi intifada.” We warned that the jihadists they were blindly

Erasure of women into “nobodyhood”

When I ask my mum what happened after the 1979 takeover in Iran, she’d recall that acid throwing was common practice for women who didn't wear hijab. Because Iranian women immediately protested hijab laws as soon as they went into effect upon the regime's establishment (the

The Global Imam’s counsel has released a statement condemning Hamas’s barbaric executions and stating in clear terms, “we hold Hamas directly responsible for the deaths and suffering of all innocent lives lost since Oct. 7.” Why? Because they are logically, factually, and legally

If supporting an enlisted terrorist organization doesn’t become a hate crime in the near future, then this is not a society I want to live in. Not only is it a society I don’t want to live in, it is one that fundamentally does not have the bones for survival. #NewYorkProtests
