*Masjid (Arabic word meaning "place of prostration" In this case it refers to an Islamic Center)

Raymond had been studying Islam for months. When he first learned of it, he was unsure. Determined in his search for Truth, however, he diligently studied the Quran and Islamic books. Finally, on a crisp autumn day, in front of 30 MSA members, Raymond publicly said the shahada for the first time. "Allahu Akbar (God is Greater)" echoed everywhere from the prayer rugs

Under the unusual cynical thoughts, the poet’s provocative phrase, glaringly stung, to her anxious wounded mind like thorny thorns. For the past two weeks, she’s been trying hard to ignore and remove the surgeon’s knotted results away from her emotional self. Curbed beneath unsettled and unruffled memories, childhood thoughts uncomfortably revisited her. Usually when the *stake gets high*, she will secretly share her sordid tears with Buddha (dog) in the dark prickled house crate.

Part 1

"Look, its simple, just say SubhanAllah 33 times, al-hamdulillah 33 times..."

"Wait a minute," said Patricia, interrupting her new friend, Radia, "I need to practice it. Is it alhamdilah?"

"Listen ukhti," replied Radia, "Al-hamdu...lilah, Al-hamdulillah."

Patricia was trying so hard to keep up with all the Arabic terms, "Now whats an oktee?"

"Youre not paying attention, sister. Perhaps you need a break," Radia said.

America has claimed that it is totally against racism and terrorism. How can that be when it was built on both?
