“Anti-Islamist Muslims - who wish to live modern lives, unencumbered by burqas, fatwas and violent visions of jihad - are on the defensive and atomized. However eloquent, their individual voices cannot compete with the roar of militant Islam's determination, money (much of it from overseas) and violence. As a result, militant Islam, with its West-phobia and goal of world hegemony, dominates Islam in the West and appears to many to be the only kind of Islam.” WorldKindIndividualWishGoalVoiceResultsVisionViolenceModernDeterminationWestIslamViolentModern LifeEloquentMilitantJihadPhobiaHegemonyIslamistsBurqa Author:Daniel Pipes

“I think the rap community always tells the truth. And I think that it's important that we listen to their voices so we can have a roadmap, because artists - almost every single artist in hip-hop, they paint a picture of society that's overlooked. The misogyny, the racism, the violence, the homophobia, these are things that we try to avoid instead of dealing with. All of that I see it so often.” ThinkingTryingImportantArtistVoiceCommunityViolenceRacismPaintHip HopRapHipsTelling The TruthHopsMisogynyHomophobiaOverlooked Author:Russell Simmons
