SHAFAQNA –I’ve changed my profile picture on social media many times since terror came in horrific waves, drowning the world in sorrow over the last year. But I could only use the official Facebook profile filter to show solidarity for Paris since a filter wasn’t available for Aleppo, Lahore, Istanbul, or many other attacks.

Maybe that’s because the West is a place where war has been a f...

SHAFAQNA –It was Eugene O’Neill who said: “Censorship of anything, at anytime, in any place, on whatever pretense has always been and always will be the last resort of the boob and the bigot.” I must say I wholeheartedly agree … and while I found many ideas repulsive and heinous I will never condone those who advocate tyray by claiming righteousness – not even if in fact they are on the side of righteousness.

I would personally argue that Freedom stands an expression of God’s endless mercy, and as such can never be encapsulated, claimed or owned by any one individual, group or faith. Freedom is many and one at the sam...

http://www.volpeypir.com/ SHAFAQNA- By Dr. Muhammad Ali ShomaliDua is one of the very important notions in the Quran, which is very difficult to translate.

The Quran 40:60 reads, وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ In this famous verse, the Q...
