Back in June, former Knesset member Moshe Feiglin affirmed Hitler, saying:

“Just as Hitler vowed to eliminate every Jew... I say: we cannot live in this land as long as one Muslim remains in Gaza. They must be eliminated.”

Want peace? Oppose Israel AND Hamas.

Another Dimension

The hidden world has its clouds and rain, but of a different kind.
Its sky and sunshine are of a different kind.
This is made apparent only to the refined ones – those not
deceived by the seeming completeness of the ordinary world.

~ Rumi, in Idries Shah, The Way of the Sufi.

Egypt’s First All-Women Sufi Whirling Dervishes Reclaim Women’s Place in Sufism

When watching a Sufi whirling dervish spin, it may appear as though they are following something unseen, led by an invisible force that moves through every turn. Yet when one looks closer, one begins to realize that the dervish is not the one following. It is the world, and all who watch, that follow their orbit. Much like the Earth moving in its eternal orbit around the sun, the motion itself is only visible to the watcher.

Ameera Khan at the @outfrontmn.bsky.social Gala
reminding us that we are here to be the neighbors we wish we had when we were little.

Support OutFront Minnesota tonight & beyond:

www.outfront.org/support-outf...

Program from the gala with Ameera's photo. She is a queer Muslim woman with a tightly curled bob haircut & brown skin.

AMEERA KHAN
Ameera Sultana Khan (she/her) is a Bengali-American whose faith is shaped by her theological training as a hafiza (one who has memorized the Quran, progressive Muslim and interfaith perspectives, and her personal experience at the intersections of Queer, Muslim, and survivor identities.

She draws from Sufi, anti-patriarchal, and liberation theology-oriented traditions within Shari'a, Quran, Hadith, and Islamic history. This includes challenging dominant narratives around commonly cited Islamic justifications for homophobia and transphobia, such as the story of the people of Lot. As a Youth Activist with the Muslim Youth Leadership Council from 2018-2021, she learned how queer and transgender Muslims across the country are reclaiming their narratives. Ameera has shared her insights through workshops, podcasts, and talks on topics like reclaiming Queer Islamic history, Muslim identity, and Shari' a law. She is also an active member of the El-Tawhid Juma Circle (ETJC) Unity Mosque in Toronto and co-founder of its Madison, Wisconsin branch. In her professional life, Ameera works as a DevOps engineer in Minnesota, USA.

Outside of work and activism, she is a recovering overachiever, a roster comedian with the Funny Asian Women Kollective (FAWK), and a self-proclaimed lover of finding beauty glimmering in the bleak and bizarre patterns of life. She believes that, despite it all, humans are fundamentally lovable - and hopes you'll double it and give it to the next person. You can find her online at @SacredPropaganda.

This week, Paul Salahuddin Armstrong reflects on Surah al-Kahf (27–31), which contrasts truth and falsehood, fleeting success and lasting faith. Real success lies not in power or wealth, but in sincere service, humility, and integrity guided by the Quran. May Allah make us steadfast.

It is true, we never know when we may lose access to technology in this "connected" age. Physical books are critical.

Sheikh Nurjan has literature that shares his deep knowledge. Stock up on books like the one below, while you mostly can take the internet for granted!

Yaseen: Prophet (s) Is The Walking Quran

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ has been granted the highest of stations by Allah (the Divine) and nowhere is it clearer than in the heart of the Holy Qur'an, Surat YaSeen. It is through Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ light...

The horror of Oct 7, 2023 was an unspeakable tragedy. And…we must beware of “commemorations” which decontextualize that horrific day and/or ignore the catastrophic, exponential magnitudes of death and destruction unleashed since.

Decades of occupation & failed/sabotaged “peace processes”, a divide/rule policy which helped create/support H*mas, the horrors of Oct 7 itself, & the now 2-yrs-running genocidal obliteration of Gaza (& further tightening of deadly grip on WB) since - all deserve historically truthful commemoration.

Both Israelis & Palestinians have suffered terribly. All deserve compassion & concern. And…one can’t ignore (although many of today’s 2-yr commemorations will try) the history, diff in scale, or power dynamics at work, nor the disastrously failed leadership which brought us & keeps us here.
