Fourth of July excursion. I went down the rabbit hole looking at the histories of monuments and statues of the Confederacy (i.e. Traitors).

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

Every once in a while I log in. I've gotten so tech-illiterate that I'd even forgotten how to find things and people.

But, then I glance at what people are saying, and just scratch my head. Is Trafalgar Square this strange? Don't tell me.

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

A whole lot of people have been asking me for my thoughts about the low-budget circus performers who believe they are fighting for Islam.

Instead, I encourage you to read everything from @Moazzam_Begg

Today I visited the former US detention and torture facility in #Bagram #Afghanistan where I was held captive in 2002 for one year. I found the cells I was held in, the rooms I was processed like an animal in, the chambers I was interrogated in and the places where I witnessed murder.

It was like a dream and nightmare come true at the same time.

I thank Allah and all those who helped make this mission possible. In sha Allah the #AlJazeera documentary about this journey should air in a few months.

The #Bagram circle is almost complete. I pray #Guantanamo closes next and we can go back there too one day.

@BasirSyed no

Plan to delete this account. With minor searching, I'm very easy to find. Best wishes to all of you.

Can you all tell him not to change his name to that. Get the citizenship. Keep your name. Please.

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

@Azeem259 @momofmoomz__ I'm unable to express how much I appreciate this.

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

@Azeem259 That's the best of gifts mA.

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

@Azeem259 @AbdulNasirJ And in this context "trippin balls" = making dua. Yes? Yes.

May Allah grant you the best of all your prayers in this trip and on.

And in this context "in this trip" = umra

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

@Azeem259 @jasonschreier Proud of you, mA.

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

@msbmack @ShabanaMir1 Don't forget the part where they throw shoes at each other because that's how (only) Muslims show displeasure.

[Zaki Hasan @zakiscorner]

Pure comedy gold.

Crowdsourcing - Is there a way to deactivate a Twitter account without deleting all the tweets? Meaning, something akin to deactivation in Facebook.

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

"meeta" = "sweet" in Urdu

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

Maybe the new name of Facebook is pronounced "Meeta."

I know this joke was pretty...sweet.

Thank you. Thank you.

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

Those are some big shoes to fill. Literally.

In honor of the new Dune film, here’s a photo I took in 2018 sitting across from Timothée Chalamet reading dune on the F Train

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

@AyyanicBond You sure about this? I go on a trip and come back, and you didn't clean up my place.

[Omer M. Mozaffar @mozaffar]

@arblauvelt With prayers for an easy resolution through whatever this is.
