Brother Amin Abdullah was the guard at the mosque in San Diego for years. He was instrumental in stopping the shooters from reaching the children today. This was his final post on FB. On these holiest days, may Allah have mercy on him and accept him as a martyr. Ameen
@tomtomatoe In fact, when I see Pakistani dramas I often wonder:
Where am I?
Why am I not represented?
I am a physician, dark skinned, hijab wearing Pakistani and I don’t see myself anywhere - forget about lead.
@tomtomatoe Saying this isn’t traditional or indigenous to Pakistan isn’t true. I am not sure what you mean by indigenous? My grandmother’s mom was in late 1800’s
That’s being said: it was never there in media to be lost
@tomtomatoe I think both of you got it wrong.
Pakistani media never had hijab for as long as I remember.
But for Sadaf: this is traditional to pakistan. I wear hijab I am Pakistani. I wear abaya too when I go to the masjid. My grandmother wore hijab and abaya, and so did her mom.
@RoshanKrRaii Ok but there were indigenous people living in the americas before the settlers arrived here. Saying there was nothing here, just “swamp” and no civilization is disrespectful to the native people.
@thelilacquill97 An it’s frustrating because him and another actor have said it before. So the pattern is being named, but none of these interviewers go beyond to ask behind the scenes questions: structural barriers, hierarchy, who decides the time slots?
@thelilacquill97 Haan that’s so true!
It’s almost a systemic problem it seems like.
What are the barriers? Who’s discriminating?Not asking you, but these are the questions that need to be asked to address the issue.
@DineshDSouza I truly thought this would be frightening speech
But after listening to it I am not sure what’s so frightening about it? I agreed with most of what she said.
I guess then I must be a freak too. 🤣
