Hesham A. Hassaballa
In the Name of the Compassionate and Infinitely Merciful Precious Beloved There has been so much hysteria, of late, around the issue of Sharia law and its supposed “threat” to the United States.

In the Name of God, the Infinitely Merciful, Most Gracious I was standing in my mother’s kitchen when I first heard the news: Whitney Houston, a singer to whom I grew up listening, had died at the age of 48. Since then, and in full from at the Grammy Awards, people and celebrities all across…

By
Hesham A. Hassaballa
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful Let me start with this: I have never understood and completely abhor those fellow Americans who plot to hurt innocent people in this country.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful I know that, as the weeks and months pass during this year’s presidential campaign, that the issue of President Obama being a “secret Muslim” will come up again and again. It did so not that long ago at a Rick Santorum event (I swear I am…
