Acc/to court documents filed by the govt, #RashaAlawieh was questioned by a #CBP officer about photos on her phone that appeared to depict #Hezbollah fighters. Alawieh allegedly said they were shared by others within WhatsApp messaging groups of friends & family.
Alawieh allegedly said her interest in Nasrallah was in his standing as a #religious figure within the Shia #Muslim community, as opposed to his role as a political leader….
The proposed extension would cover the #Muslim holy month of #Ramadan, which started over the sknd & concludes at the end of March, & the #Jewish holiday of #Passover, April 12–20. Giving #Israel & #Hamas ~7wks to reach a comprehensive agreement.
“Hamas is not going to return all of the hostages until it has ironclad guarantees that the Israelis will withdraw their forces & formally declare & abide by an end of the #war…. No one is going to give Hamas that guarantee,” Miller said.

Well done #Illinois.
A jury in suburban #Chicago convicted a man on Friday on #murder & #HateCrime charges in the fatal stabbing of a 6-yr-old #Palestinian American boy who lived at his property. The killing, which took place days after #Hamas attacked #Israel in 2023, was fueled by anti-#Muslim #hate….
The defendant, Joseph M. Czuba, 73, faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced.

#Ramadan is drawing near. Every year I have a look around the creative web for some nice art to send to my #Muslim dear ones.
However, this year, 90% of the pictures around were not made by human hands (eughhh) and quite a few good artists have dropped off the radar alltogether.
Does anyone around here have some recommendations (CC, small fee or donation)? that would be great!
Styles that work best with my crowd are 'sleek with metal accents' or 'cute and colourful'.
As a #CUNY alumna, I’d like to know who the hell leaned on #Hochul about a low-level academic job that ordinarily wouldn’t have come to her attention.
CUNY has historically been a haven for new Americans. Most CUNY students are either foreign-born or have parents who were; and the sizable percentage of #Muslim students, faculty and staff aren’t the only ones likely to object to whitewashing #Palestinian history.
This is a clear attack on academic freedom.
My suggestion to #Canada and #Canadians: with the ascendancy of Trump World, why aren't we aggressively working to skim and divert every business and professional opportunity possible? BC is trying to recruit doctors, for example. Thousands of US professionals must be thinking of it: help them out.
AND: international conferences - go after them BIG TIME. If you're muslim, Chinese, #BIPOC even...a lot easier to come to Canada than the US for a conference.

A man regarded as the first openly gay #Muslim imam has been fatally shot while sitting in a car in South Africa in what many are calling an assassination because of his teachings. Muhsin Hendricks was ambushed by two men in a pick-up truck while visiting the southern city of Gqeberha on Saturday.

Rest in peace #MuhsinHendricks
You inspired many to turn away from hate, may we learn from you
Saving science and scholarship from marauders
I just finished Joshua Hammer's _Bad-Ass Librarians_. It recounts the complex and dangerous effort to gather hundreds of thousands of handwritten manuscripts from private homes around #Timbuktu, where they were under assault from rot and termites, to collect and repair them in the Ahmed Baba Institute (in Timbuktu, funded by Kuwait), to evacuate them surreptitiously to prevent their destruction by #AlQuaeda in their 2012-2013 invasion of northern #Mali, and finally to ensure their safe return to Institute. Plus, great title.
Recommended, partly for the history (new to me) of the medieval golden age of #Muslim science and scholarship in northwest #Africa, centered in Timbuktu, and partly for the example of a small band of Malian librarians to save their cultural heritage.
Of course there are also ominous similarities to current news.
Hi! I'm new to mastodon. I have no idea how things work here. Is there a like button? I see a favorite button but does that influence how many ppl see a post? (Edit: answered, thx)
I'm hoping to make some connections. I became #bedbound somewhat recently and I am in way over my head. I'm also looking for #disabled folks from my bg: POC, #Muslim or #Arab, preferably from NYC, has #longcovid. Please say hello if any of this matches you!
Soon I'll make some posts asking for help.
"In an act of interfaith unity, the Chief #Rabbi, leading #imams and other senior #rabbis today signed the #Muslim-#Jewish Reconciliation Accords, which they presented to #KingCharles at Buckingham Palace as a symbol of their commitment to dialogue.
Prominent Muslim and Jewish figures in the #UK came together to sign the landmark agreement named The Drumlanrig Accord, which establishes a constructive framework for sustained #interfaith #solidarity amid rising tension in the UK."
