We are lucky to be Americans.

In the aftermath of the catastrophic disaster in Haiti and the swift response of the US government, one can only be reminded how lucky we are to be Americans. I was so amazed how quickly we set up a temporary tower for the airport , how fast we moved equipment, resources and personnel to help our fellow human beings. We are doing this only to help, expecting nothing in return. Just another reminder to the whole word that we, as Americans, care about our fellow human beings.

What’s Wrong Airport Security?

As you already know, a suspect, identified by a U.S. government official as 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, ignited a small explosive device Friday, shortly before a Northwest flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands, landed at Detroit Metro Airport in Michigan. The question is how was he able to get onto a plane with this device? Will that be another black eye to the muslim community. Why is it that some of these young men and women believe this is right to kill innocent people? Islam does not endorse that. How do we prevent young people from being radicalized?

Is the Us Profiling Muslims?

Many Muslims in the US may perceive it that way. Many have claimed they were targeted for investigations, just because they are Muslims or that they belong to certain mosques. However, perception is not reality. I don’t think the evidence is there to prove or disprove it. However, we know that perceptions of muslims by Americans became very negative in the aftermath of September 11. I till remember this lady at the McCain campaign rally claiming that she could not trust Obama because he was an Arab. The question now is what can US Muslims do to combat this negative image?

Recently Egypt has demanded that Germany return some artifact that has been in Germany for decades. How it got there and who gave it to Germany is as much as a mystery as Egypt’s request that it be returned. If Egypt wanted it return, it could have made the request years ago. Rumors are that this has more to do with politics than artifact. How will this story end, is anybody’s guess?

As some of you now know, FIFA.com has launched early this year an Arabic version of its online site FiFa.com. The link can be found here The Arabic language is now the fifth language of FIFA’s Official Website, alongside English, French, German and Spanish. The fact that Soccer has a large audience and participants is unmistakable. We applaud FIFA for such Action while wondering what took so long. Now the question is will Arabs go in large number to the site?

Is the US Muslim Community at Fault?

News that these young Americans have been arrested in Pakistan for allegedly planning and training to launch terrorist attacks have caused some soul searching in the Muslim Community here. Many questions are left unanswered. If true, who planted these ideas in their heads. Who caused them to become radicalized. Will people blame the Muslim community in the US

Is Arabic hip hop Here to Stay?

We all know that Arab Hip Hop has been very successful. Songs like “Ashanak Arabi”(Because you an Arab) has become widely popular as well as bands, like DAM and MWR who have perfected the genre. But as sales are declining in the US market for hip hop, will that have an effect in the Arab world?
