  • Mere Islam
    It probably won't come as a surprise to anyone familiar with English literature, popular Christian theology or comparative religion in the 20th century, that I came up with the name “Mere Islam” after considering a certain title by C. S. Lewis. Admittedly, back when I decided to establish this weblog back in August 2004, I wanted to come up with a catchy title that would express the purpose, message and spirit that I had in mind for it—which is explaining Islam to non-Muslims, reflecting on Islamic spirituality, discussing aspects of comparative religion and trying to make sense of life in the modern world. Although this is not exactly analogous to what C. S. Lewis did in his classic Mere Christianity—and I certainly in no way intend to compare my religious views or my (lack of) writing skills to those of C. S. Lewis—hopefully I did manage to come up with a catchy title. As I intend it, Mere Islam means: Islam just as it is—straight from the mouth of a Muslim—unadulterated by the bigotry of Islamophobes, the snide remarks of pundits and the distortion of Orientalists.

  • Ghetto Nomad "Travelling Blackwards: Memoirs of a Ghetto Nomad" is a work that is in its initial stages. It is a portrait that combines the power and breadth of The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Fire Next Time with the abstract-concreteness of a wayfarer who has fared well. It is an innercity narrative. It is an American story. It is a collective collage of humanity about hope, vision, service, friendship, love and the ability to challenge the self to reach higher heights. As you travel blackwards you will see yourself as you have never seen yourself before.
