CONGRESSMAN ANDRE CARSON (D-IN): "In this book, my friend Arsalan Iftikhar expertly examines the #Islamophobia that has gripped America & the world. As one of 3 #Muslim Members of Congress, I commend Arsalan for his thorough analysis of this global crisis" TheMuslimPlanet.com

In 2006, Keith Ellison became the first Muslim elected to Congress. He was sworn in on Thomas Jefferson's Quran.
20 years later, 8 Muslims head to Congress: Andre Carson, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, Lateefah Simon, Aisha Wahab, Adam Hamawy, Darializa A Chevalier, Abdul El-Sayed.

You know what, we’re not.
Only when we’ve investigated and prosecuted the correct parties will we have the right to ask our allies to accept us.
If we don’t, this will happen again. Let’s show a little humility here.
FUN FACT: The first #Muslim senator in American history (@AbdulElSayed) already follows me on Twitter & I forgot to follow him back 🤦🏾♂️

Voters are rejecting Islamophobia a lot louder than many people in national media

Listen to El-Sayed. Yes, he's cocky. Yes, he doesn't hide his brains. He has enough confidence in himself and in his identity to let everyone know that he will never accept anything less than full equality. That he and people like him will redefine what it means to be American.
You know who he reminds me of: All those brash Jews who crashed through the barriers of antisemitism in the middle of the last century.
I am an American, Michigan-born.

‘Tonight we can turn that inshallah into alhamdulillah’.
Democrat Abdul El-Sayed gave an impassioned victory speech as he beat Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan senate race.
FUN FACT: The major news networks won't call the #MichiganSenate race for @AbdulElSayed until there are 107% of precincts reporting because maybe Mike Rogers can find 200,000 votes in a @Cheesecake Factory in the Upper Peninsula 🤷🏾♂️

Eminem has allowed Abdul-El-Sayed's campaign to use his classic, “Not Afraid” in a new ad. #Michigan
*nods in #Muslim*
I hope folks will think about the fact that @HaleyforMI demanded that @AbdulElSayed denounce as antisemitic an ad he was not associated with, but is now endorsing a man who called Abdul a terrorist. She is fine with bigotry and racism as long as its against the right people.

🇵🇰 🦙 Alpacas charm families at new Pakistan cafe
A new attraction at a zoo in Islamabad is offering visitors a unique experience. Multi Zoo on the outskirts of Pakistan's capital has imported alpacas so guests in its cafe can enjoy their drinks and snacks while admiring the animals.

Voting isn’t everything, but it also isn’t nothing. Especially when politicians think they can score points by picking on our community. If you can, get out and vote early. Texas & Michigan, I especially mean you!
