As we close out our second year of the podcast, we have a lot to reflect on. Most importantly, a Merry Muslim Christmas to All and a Happy New Year!
- First off, Taz had an amazing reading of Good Girls Marry Doctors in LA! If you still haven't gotten your copy yet, not to worry: Aunt Lute has it at a huge discount.
- We truly feel for Yasmin Seweid, the Muslim girl who falsified a police report, and hope that our communities can do better about making brown girls feel safe.
- There's a petition to out Mike Adams from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, just like he outed one of the queer Muslim students.
- Meanwhile, the agony in Aleppo continues. Daughters and wives have been asking their male relatives to kill them to avoid rape and torture from Assad's army.
- If you haven't heard already, Dylann Roof was found guilty.
- A Christmas gift from us: a syllabus on how white people can educate themselves. Please also join SURJ.
- Also, we are not your helpers. To put it in this article's words, "I am not your racial confessor."
- Here's the video for "Dear Child" that Taz co-produced, in case you felt like crying.
- Zahra appeared on BuzzFeed's "See Something, Say Something" podcast, in addition to CIIS' podcast.
- Taz also appeared on See Something, Say Something's podcast to talk about being Muslim and celebrating Christmas.
- Taz wrote an amazing piece about the Muslim registry, and you can read it right here.
Christmas Mubarak!
