I love her {The Acceptance)

More than a stone I never had.

If she aint mine than it's my bad.

I'm Trippin! Sad! For no fuckin reason

Girls on IG talking bout is cuffin season 

Not this way cause I got love for her year round 

This shit real to me like the attention

Ya need for this life to be real to YOU.
  

I knew this was real when I started thinking bout her and havin regrets.

Something  that's rare and unacceptable. 

Outspoken type guy I say how I feel when I feel. 

Why am I feelin sum type of way? 

Love her so much that I call her sometimes to wish her good things bout her life Reckless advice on this crazy life. 

But than I'm like WTF!!!

Feeling like a sucka for this love I'm trying to  deny. 

Homeboy's clowning when I bring her up out of nowhere in our convos

Bout Sports and Bullshit.

All type of names lol " Man U soft" "loverboy" "weak" smh. 

I always give em this answer "Yo she Special son" or "She different".  

Sometimes "Man fuck her!" 

Str8 up sometimes I hate her so much it's like she an Enemy.

But than I still end the convo saying the good things bout her.

More of how she a Virgin and how much I admire that. 

Mostly  cause this fucked up generation were all apart of. 

I applaud women of her kind. 

Woke up one day feeling as if I'm not  man enough to tell how I really feel bout Shortie, so I called her (background noise 2 loud) So we begin to text.....

Feeling relieved with no regrets

After that, came to a conclusion to move on with my life.  

To move on never speak to her again.

Which would mean I ruined everything we had built.

Friendship.. Love.. Care.. & Also a good 4yr relationship that's rare in these times.  I Clown her a lot but that's cause I care for her. 

For those that's wondering if I'm a clown or not?

The Elephant in the Room

The Elephant in the Room

These days, it seems to be one of the trending topics to talk about Islam and not in a good way. It seems like the entire religion is an endangered one. It’s important and our global citizenly-duty to talk about the elephant in the room: why is Islam such a targeted religion?

Before diving into answering this question, I almost feel obligated to set down a strong foundation that this may seem biased. As a Muslim myself, I am more in favor of showing you the positive side of Islam. Although this would imply that there is a dark side, I’ll leave that up to you to decide upon finishing this article. If you are strictly adhered to the belief that Islam is an evil religion and all of its followers are equally evil, it would not do you any justice to continue reading. Continuing to read this piece calls for an open and learning mind, as well as one that is willing to argue and support opposing viewpoints.

Did you know that Islam means submission? Why does this matter? Well, simply put, Islam is a religion about peace and Allah. Before you run, Allah is the Arabic name for “God.” Islam advocates for peace, tolerance and self-accountability. Although they are all important, I will focus on the topic of self-accountability for the sake of time. In Islam, it is a fundamental belief that no man should bear the burden of sin for another man—in short, to each his own. As individual Muslims, each person is responsible for his/her own actions and it is between themselves and Allah to tackle issues of sin, repentance, and forgiveness. With that said, it is a flawed and skewed viewpoint to blame an entire religion and its people for the actions of a handful.

In the media, it seems to be a popular trend to highlight the radical acts of certain organizations, such as Boco Haram, Hezbollah, and the infamous, al-Qaeda. These organizations wrongfully use Islam as a shield and justification for their acts of “terror.” As a result, society uses its misconceptions, stereotypes and ignorance of Islam as a reason for judging about 2 billion people worldwide. Logically speaking, is it safe to say that the actions of a few individuals or a small organization are representative for the entire Islamic population? As an educated people, we should know better. Believing that would be the equivalent of saying that the Westboro Baptist Church is an accurate representation of all Christians around the world. If that didn’t strike a nerve, maybe their website “GodHatesFags.com” can put things in perspective. No two individuals are the same, moreover 2 billion people. The truth of the matter is that it is unfair to blame Islam for terrorism. It is equally unfair for the perpetrators of terror to use Islam as a justification.

What it boils down to is simply this: everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That is a fundamental right as human beings. The problem arises when that opinion and its expression of it jeopardizes the reputation of a religion that has been around for 1,438 years. Shahada( faith) Salah (Prayer), Zakat (Almsgiving), Hajj (Pilgrimage to Mecca), and Ramadan (Fasting)—these are the things that Islam believes in. Not bombs, blood, pain, or TERROR. It’s time we do our research and make our own decisions instead of relying on mainstream media to capture, censor and then display its own image of Islam and Muslims.
 

If by the time you reach this part of the paper I’ve inspired you to re-think and doubt every bit of new you hear, I have completed my mission. If I have wasted your time because you still see the world the exact same way as before reading this, I’ve failed. If terms like Boco Haram, Westboro Baptist Church and Hezbollah sound foreign to you, you have a lot of research to do. If Shahada and Zakat don’t seem familiar, then you need to learn more about Islam before you come up with judgments. But above all, if you are a citizen of this world, you owe it to yourself to be informed. Whether it’s about Islam, terrorism, or the media’s influence on our every-day patterns, all it takes is a discussion, some research or simply stepping out of your comfort zone to ask questions. There is no greater form of ignorance than denying something you know nothing about.
