It is time...

The topics brought up during class are grand realizations that cannot end with the clock ticking to 6:45. These realizations open up minds and deepen understanding. There is so much running through my head as I walk out the double doors of MSB that I can hardly drive myself home. Others may not see it, but to me it creates a huge burden. As issues of my faith are brought up in fantastical, unfounded ways I see how much Muslims have to go before people can take them as they truly are. The pressure is on and it makes me happy to see the majority of everyone in the class transform into people who can decipher the differences between "orientalism" and reality. Some came in that way and they have generously helped the rest of us reach their level. We have come a long way and it keeps on getting better and better.

This blog will serve as a venue to share with the rest the ideas that fill my mind like miners trapped behind a pile of rubble. The only way to stay alive is to find a way out. I have found a way out and here it is. Welcome to my world.
