Islam is at the heart of an emerging global anti-hegemonic culture that combines diasporic and local cultural elements, and blends Arab, Islamic, black and Hispanic factors to generate "a revolutionary black, Asian and Hispanic globalization, with its own dynamic counter-modernity constructed in order to fight global imperialism. (say what!)

first thoughts on chapel hill
New Idea: Instead of calling people "Islamophobic" we should say that they are "serious about their parking space".

happy muslims around the world
YouTube Playlist: Pharrell Williams Happy Muslims, Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and Muslim World by Megan Reif covers alot of the same ground I have with my various blog posts of Muslims doing "Happy" videos. I think I've gotten a few she missed and vice-versa.

wow, another syrian happy video
From the video:
"Back in March 2014, Maiko went to Iraq as a Volunteer to help Syrian refugees.
She thought it would be wonderful and powerful if she could make a Happy song with syrian refugees living in the camp.
The life in the camp is of course, not easy, everyone has lots of burdens and have lost many things back home in Syria
But they are not only grieving
They celebrate their birthdays, or new born babies, or someone's wedding in the community
They always try to have something to have fun with. they are really living their lives.
She told them about this idea of a Happy clip,
They were so thrilled that they made one.. ;o)
I helped them remotely by doing the editing.
You can see that they are happy even though they are living a tough situation.
Thanks Maiko for your volunteering and your great help.
Good luck to all those Syrian refugees !!!!
Stay happy, whatever the circumstances."
