Life As I Live It

I think she deserves to be on the list since she has employed more black men than the federal government.

When you are hurt by the people who share blood relations with you, recall Yusuf [AS] who was also betrayed by his brothers.

When you find your parents opposing you (in deen) recall Ibraheem [AS] who was made to jump into a blazing fire by his father.

When you are mocked and abused by your own relatives just because you adopted deen over duniya, recall Rasul Allah [SAWW] who faced the same.

When you are stuck in some problem and find no way out recall Yunus [AS] who was stuck inside the belly of a whale.

When you fall ill and your whole body cries with pain, recall Ayoob [AS] who was more ill than you.

When you feel lonely recall how Adam [AS] felt when he was created alone at first.

When you can’t see any logic in what’s going on and your heart asks why this is happening, recall Nooh [AS] who built the biggest ship without questioning.

pronounced (joo-kee)

term used to refer to a woman with a huge butt wearing sweat pants that say “juicy” on the back. Jucy derives from the sight of the letter “I” being swallowed up by the asscrack, revealing only “J-U-C-Y” to any unfortunate soul that has eyes.

I’ve never felt a blood boil as strong as the word “allegedly” has made me feel recently. I read three articles today about the recent Afghan massacre of 16 women and kids, well, allegedly just by one man. Who is now being mass-diagnosed with PTSD. 

No sane person would commit such an act. So it seems safe to assume that there is some sort of mental health issue—Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or something considerably worse—at play.

Yes, such an act of inhumanity is insanity. But come on now - PTSD is his defense?? If you’re one of those living in the dark, blindly believing mass media’s allegations of a brain disorder to have caused such an act, I feel deeply sorry for you. Go educate yourself. 

First, US soldiers allegedly burn the Quran. Sure, like that is not provoking at all. Well, since you say all is fair in love and war, so the use of fire to put out another fire is justified. They got what they asked for.

Then, Sergeant Psycho goes about killing the undoubtedly innocent that even biased media couldn’t try and prove to be potential terrorists. And the government defends the punishable-by-death by ever-so-popular-escape-from-trouble diagnosis of INSANE.

Little light for you all living in the dark believing the armed forces to be some sort of “heroes”:

In With the Old Breed, Marine Eugene B. Sledge not only describes his formerly perfectly normal comrades cutting gold teeth out of the mouths of still-living enemies but also watches as someone urinates into the mouth of a dead Japanese soldier.

When mass media gets brave enough to finally report some truth, we see history repeating in Afghanistan when the marines were caught urinating on Taliban corpses. FIIIIINNNNEEE… let’s imagine I believe they were terrorists. But wasn’t the task just to kill them? Or urinating on corpses is actually on a US Marine’s job description?

Very similar to Philip Caputo’s memoir A Rumor of War, in which his men joke, “Oh, excuse me, Mister Charlie,” after kicking the corpse of a teen whom they knew was not Viet Cong but shot anyway, for swiping a tree branch at them and running away.

Yeah, job description it seems like it.

And now, Mr Psycho has been flown out of Afghanistan to a secret location. Why? If he was indeed as psycho as the American government would like us to believe, why not have a trial on the grounds he committed this brutality? Very brave, “heroes”. 

Truth too hard to swallow, still? Are the direct confessions of ex-marines above not enough to tell you exactly how many “terrorists” they are killing to earn the title of “hero”?! You know what, call a soldier a fucking hero when he is on his own fucking land protecting his own country - not invading other lands and killing who knows how many people on their own lands for making the mistake of being spotted by him.

If you have a chance to see any of the Oscar short documentaries, watch Saving Face.  I’m still haunted by the horrific violation of women in Pakistan.  I can’t even talk about it without getting upset.  It’s very powerful.

While every country across the globe still has strides to make in the equality of women i.e. equal pay, equal job opportunities, equal testimony, Pakistani women just want equality of safety, the opportunity to live without fear, and the opportunity to receive justice for the the injustices carried out against them.

Every year an average of 100 Pakistani women are the victims of acid attacks from spouses and family members, and most likely there are more cases that go unreported out of fear.  Women who have had their faces burned off from battery acid.  Women who have been doused in gasoline and set afire.  Women with spouses who are abusive.  Women with in-laws who don’t want them anymore.  Women who are simply walking down the street.
