Not on CNN
In case you’re like me lately and cram in a cnn.com refresh every couple hours or so to catch up on the latest Hillary gaffes, you would’ve missed the murder of 9 Palestinian civilians in an airstrike today. Earlier, three Israeli occupation soldiers were killed while attacking Gaza, and 5 Palestinians were killed resisting the [...]
Just Like You
Look, I’m drinking a shot of whiskey, I’m just like you! I mean, you drink whiskey, right? I’m totally just like you. That means you are a serial liar… err, i mean, serial misspeaker… stuck in a loveless marriage with a fatty, you have an annual joint income in the 10s of millions, and of [...]

The Arab Conscience

You Wont See This On CNN

Others described the [...]
Hypocrite
For weeks I’ve been trying to convince you that Obama wants to disenfranchise the voters of Michigan and Florida because he’s agreeing to comply with the DNC’s rules and decisions. I, on the other hand, want to disenfranchise everybody in every state that voted in any primary or caucus. That’s right, fuck the voters, fuck [...]
Liar
Are you all really that surprised that I’m resorting to outright lies? I mean, I stuck with tubs after all these years; obviously I’d say or do anything to be President. Negative and dirty campaigning, lying, scaring up votes, ANYTHING. So vote for me, the only Democratic candidate who loves her country.
Religion and Politics
It’s not surprising that the intersection of religion and politics may occassionally beget controversy. Really, though, have we ever seen anything that nears the pandamonium surrounding Obama’s family minister and spiritual advisor, Jeremiah Wright? I genuinely wonder if this is at least partially a product of White people wanting to feel indignant at the Black [...]
Desecrating Hala Maksoud’s Memory
I really began to embrace my Arab identity during the formative years of my life, while a student at the University of Michigan.
