At long last, Jews and Muslims are standing together...as they should have been doing all along.
Black History Month and American Muslims: We Cannot Shirk Our Responsibility to Stand Up for Justice
By
Hesham A. Hassaballa
In the Name of God: The Extremely and Eternally Loving and Caring Let us leave aside several facts: 1. African-American Muslims have been an integral part of the civil rights struggle in America for decades. A substantial portion of the slaves brought to America were Muslim, and thus, Black History…
The True Face of American Islam: Chicago Muslims Distribute 5,000 Turkeys

Hesham A. Hassaballa
In the Name of God: The Extremely and Eternally Loving and Caring With the election of Donald Trump and the fear that comes with his picks to essential law enforcement and Homeland Security posts, it is important to highlight the truth about American Islam and Muslims. While there are some in our country who seek…
No One Should Sit ANY Election Out, But Especially Not THIS One. This Means YOU, Muslims!
By
Hesham A. Hassaballa
In the Name of God: The Extremely and Eternally Loving and Caring THE RIGHT (and privilege, frankly) to vote has not always universal like it is today.

By
Hesham A. Hassaballa

I’m A Bears Fan, But I Really Like Aaron Rodgers
By
Hesham A. Hassaballa
In the Name of God, the Extremely and Eternally Loving and Caring I’m a Bears fan…a die-hard Bears fan. I was born in Chicago and raised in its suburbs, and I bleed blue and orange. And there is no team in the NFL I despise more than the Green Bay Packers. My revulsion for that team is…
Anti-Muslim Hate Rallies Misguided and Hurt Us All
By
Hesham A. Hassaballa
In the Name of God: The Extremely and Eternally Loving and Caring Today and tomorrow, some of my fellow Americans – possibly armed – plan to hold a “Global Rally for Humanity” at dozens of mosques and other Islamic institutions across the country.
