It's a sad day when the leaders of the free world engage in such deception and trickery. I voted against this unnecessary war and will continue to argue that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home. ↗

Don’t teach your children to be afraid. Then you ask Abdul Malik, you want them to be radicals? You know what a radical is? People label people radicals who challenge them, then, after they are killed they call them heroes; Martin Luther King, Kennedy, Malcom X all radicals. Radical is a person who refuses to accept oppression. Who knows by the inner nature of the spirit in which God has made them, they yearn and have the right to breathe free. Freedom is not the gift of any nation to humanity. Freedom is from Allah subhana wa ta'ala to every creature he has created. ↗

— Imam Abdul Malik
