Please spread the word for anyone potentially affected by the ban !!!

the other day i was about to go take the subway and there was this man who was selling magazines. it was a ‘special’ magazine, because it’s produced and sold by homeless people or former drug addicts who are trying to get back on their feet. after i bought one of the magazines, the man asked me, very politely, if he “could give me a compliment” and i said “sure” and he told me that he thought i was pretty and he told me to have a nice day. he asked me for my permission in order to compliment me. there are men out there, working downtown in big offices, wearing suits and driving fancy cars who won’t hesitate to cat call women, won’t hesitate to make inapropriate comments and make them feel uncomfortable, but yet these men are seen as “slick and classy” by a large part of the population. and then you have this man who was selling those magazines, who didn’t have clean clothes or nice hair and i’m pretty sure a lot of people walk past him and would never think he had class, but i can assure you that he was a million times more “classy” than most millionaires with a suit and a fancy car.

his first and his last goal for the german nationalteam

New rule, non muslims can’t say the word jihad. Until you stop conflating a word that means personal struggle with faith and temptation with terrorism youre just not allowed to say it.

I’m not a Muslim but I just thought I would reblog this because I think it’s definitely worth listening to.

It’s totally okay for non muslims to reblog this, and i encourage it. Im just glad you’re listening.

Oh god, finally someone said it. Every time I see words like “jihadist” I want to scream, but I’m not Muslim, so I wasn’t sure I should say anything. 

Jihad means struggle. It doesn’t mean holy war or anything like it. In fact, there is no word in Islam for holy war, because the nature of Islam does not leave room for holy war. Islam has a juridical system, not a Pope who can just say “Go wage holy war.” Conflating the personal nature of jihad with violence is so very gross and it needs to stop. Period.

Actually, there’s another word non-muslims in the media shouldn’t use:

Allahu Akbar. It’s not a statement of terrorism. It means “god is great”. It’s something we say to praise our lord. It’s what we say when we pray. It’s not a statement of terrorism. Allahu Akbar doesn’t mean terrorism stop using it as one
