So, our friends over at Muslim WakeUp! have instituted a new activity, a WakeUp! Call. Their first one is directed to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). ISNA is supporting a temperance society that believes the only way to salvation is through Jesus and all immigration should be stopped lest the hordes run us over. But the good news is, they will bring back prohibition. Didn’t we learn anything from the 2000 election? A single issue, at the ignorance [yes, I know it’s not the correct use of the word, but it really is a willful ignorance] of all else, cannot define the community. And really, have we become so stupid that we want to bring back a failed Constitutional amendment because we believe to be Islamic, and once that’s passed we’ll gladly allow ourselves to exported/deported/detained?

Morocco Quake
A major earthquake has hit Morocco, causing hundreds of deaths. Please give to whatever relief effort you can. I personally use the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, so money can go where it’s most needed. While we do recognize disasters that predominantly affect Muslims, we also acknowledge the value of all human life and strive to help people whenever we can. Any surplus given to the general fund will be redistributed to needy areas.
Go pray with your sisters in NYC
Yes, Alhamdulilah – today is a historic day for Muslims in America and the world. If you are in NYC today – you may want to attend a Jummah service led by Dr. Amina Wadud. Yes a sister! She will be leading prayers and men and women will be side by side. Congratulations on such a bold stand. May Allah offer the organizer and attendees courage and protection.
