As an immigrant, the Fourth of July reminds me that home can exist in more than one place.
I’ll always carry my roots with me, but I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities, friendships, and life I’ve built here. Living between two cultures has taught me that you don’t have to choose one to love the other.
I’m grateful for this beautiful country and for all the opportunities it has given me and my family.
Happy Fourth of July to all my fellow Americans! 🇺🇸
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I was born Muslim, in a Muslim family, under a Muslim government. I will never move to a city where Muslims are the majority again. Once they become the majority, they don’t just live their beliefs, they start imposing them on everyone around them.
People don't realize that "expansion" and "dominance" are not fringe ideas in Islam, they’re baked into the ideology. Islam is not separable from politics or the state. The Prophet Mohammad's life, the Hadith that Muslims are told to model themselves after, includes around 80 wars.
Westerners are committing suicide by inviting this ideology into their institutions, their politics, and their offices and pretending it's just another private belief system. That is not how this works.
