EL-SAYED: I want to make healthcare, groceries and gas more affordable, get rid of data centers, remove corporate money from politics and tax the rich.
Republicans: El-Sayed is Muslim.
As a Christian who is a native Arabic speaker, I say "Inshallah" at least 20 times a day. The term literally means "if God wills."
One of my favorite things about Arabic language is how present God is in different phrases, such as "Inshallah" and "Alhamdulillah," which means "thank be to God" and is used to answer someone asking, "How are you?" What's amazing is that these phrases are so normalized among Arabic speakers that even atheists would answer "How are you?" with "Thank be to God."
This is Sheikh Farouk Ramadan.
Yesterday afternoon, he and his family were attacked by settler-terrorists on their own land. Farouk managed to disarm one of the attackers. He took the settler's rifle and shot and killed two terrorists in a clear act of self-defence.
In response, Israeli soldiers murdered him and three of his family members. Israeli government and media portrays him as the terrorist, and the actual terrorists as the victims.
Don't let them push this narrative. Farouk had the full legal and moral right to resist against the genocidal terrorists who invaded his land.
Despite the so-called ceasefire in Gaza, civilians continue to pay a heavy price every day.
People are being killed in their homes, in their communities, and while carrying out ordinary acts of daily life - as Israel increases its control of Gaza.
Living conditions remain intolerable & horrific diseases are spreading - with humanitarian operations heavily impeded.
The prolonged suffering must end.
