Oh my! I didn’t know @shannonchakraborty.bsky.social had a new book coming out. SQUEE!

All this barbarity was unleashed during Ramadan. That was a choice.

Difficult to comprehend the long-term consequences of Israel’s violent rampage across the Middle East we are seeing unfold in real time with zero intervention or pushback from a complicit west.

Of it’s any comfort I just did a short course on race, religion, and A Tribe Called Quest and I had couple of kids know. The key book was Go Ahead in the Rain by Abdurraqib

Looking Back at 2025 I have to be honest, 2025 was a wild year. Probably the biggest bit of news was my departure from Harvard Divinity School. I’m linking to a…

For today's "no reason" post, I'm re-upping my review of 2025, where I have a lot of stuff about the place and role of Muslims in US history, including a series of digital shorts for PBS.

Again, no reason at all, just putting it out there.

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

As good an image as any to illustrate America’s contribution to Middle East peace, order, and stability over the last 30 years.

I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

I'm serious, read it all please

Once you see this image as a grim American flag you cannot unsee it.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

Most of the world looked at what Israel did to Gaza and recoiled in horror.

Biden’s White House defended and armed it, with some aides pretending to have felt bad about it.

Trump’s Pentagon said it had some notes.

@UnionSeminary.Bsky.Social adjunct faculty member Dr. Hussein Rashid recently took part in a fascinating conversation on the Doha Debates Podcast exploring this cultural moment through the lens of comic book superheroes, addressing the question “Are superheroes the moral leaders of our time?”

If you maintain your work and business WITHOUT generative "A.i.," you will be ahead of the game when these companies jack up their prices before crashing and burning.

Also, your work won't be trash.

I know this will be great, given the contributors.

Thank you my friend
