Shout out to http://thisismybrainondrugs.tumblr.com/ for this find!  I was first introduced to Freeway via JayZ....yeah, JayZ and I role like that.  My mom calls him "Jazzy" when he comes over for some somosas.

When you hear about Muslims in the mainstream media, its never anything positive.  With over 1 billion Muslims in the world, the news seems to only focus on the more controversial aspects.  In a 24-hour news cycle, news stories about the Taliban, radicals, extremists, etc is what gets aired.  These 24-hour news organizations want money, advertisers will only give them money if people are watching TV.  How do they get people to watch TV?  Make things controversial, violence sells.  Enough with the commentary, I can tell you readers (do I even have readers?  The internet is so saturated with bloggers...) are getting bored.  There is a new blog that has been set up called "Muslim Good News," whose goal is to bring you news stories that are often under-reported.  

Another cool website, created after NPR's Juan Williams' crazy comments, examines "Muslim garb."  Hint:  There is no such thing as a "Muslim garb".  If you haven't, check out an insightful, well written piece by a Rhode Scholar challenging Juan Williams' comments.

Why?   Can you spot the subtle (maybe even overt) racial overtones?
