This is a very dark time for America. Mainstream Republican politicians speaking like old-school racists about a minority community while an all white crowd cheers and hoots.
I hope at the end of this she has enough money to sue the pants off of the shooter and neighbors for filing harassment complaint, and she can move away from this place and find a place more kind to a single NURSE who sacrifices her time to help others!!
Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.
This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.
This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.
I’m going to sleep.
Our entire existence is about creativity and connection. If we aren’t patient and graceful enough with each other our minds become too encumbered to create, and too cynical to connect.
I say all this, having wasted a whole day playing that damn game.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. This is insane. Republicans are voiding elections that have already happened to change the maps to get the results they want. They're dismantling democracy.
We also lost Abu el Ezz. He gave me my first prayer rug, hijab and prayer beads 📿 on the day I took my shahada.
Ya Rabb make his grave spacious, well lit, give him a place in the shade of your throne and forgive his sins to protect him from the hell fire. Ameen
This is Mohamed Nader, one of the victims of the San Diego mosque terrorist attack…
His wife, Mrs. Khairaat, has served as a kindergarten teacher for decades. Their family has long been known within the ICSD community as “the neighbors of the masjid,” since they lived directly across the street.
When Nader heard the gunshots, he immediately ran toward the danger. He grabbed whatever he could from Brother Amin Abdullah and went inside to confront the two terrorists. He was martyred in the process.
At the same time, his wife was barricaded inside the kindergarten classroom with her students. Despite the unimaginable fear and chaos, she remained composed so the children would not be afraid. Imagine her strength... Evacuating with her students and then witnessing the carnage brought upon our house of worship and school.
Brother Nader was always trying to do right by people, especially by his children. His children attended my Quran classes, and their parents would often ask me to check in on them and mentor them. They cared deeply about their children and the children of the community. They would always say, “Please talk to our children because they listen to you and need good mentorship.” SubhanAllah, this is the kind of family the Awads are.
When Brother Nader heard the gunshots, he ran into the gunfire from across the street not knowing what would happen, only knowing that his wife, the children, and the community were in danger and that he had to do something. By the will of Allah, he delayed the shooters and prevented them from reaching the classrooms.
He saved an untold number of children’s lives yesterday.
May Allah accept Nader as a Shaheed.

His name is Amin Abdullah. He is the security guard who gave his life to protect the children and stop the terror attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego. This man died a hero, but should still be alive and would be if it weren’t for the rising hatred against Muslims. RIP.
