Jihad means struggle. It doesn’t mean holy war or anything like it. In fact, there is no word in Islam for holy war, because the nature of Islam does not leave room for holy war. Islam has a juridical system, not a Pope who can just say “Go wage holy war.” Conflating the personal nature of jihad with violence is so very gross and it needs to stop. Period.

Allahu Akbar. It’s not a statement of terrorism. It means “god is great”. It’s something we say to praise our lord. It’s what we say when we pray. It’s not a statement of terrorism. Allahu Akbar doesn’t mean terrorism stop using it as one

SAY THAT!

My body and heart aches everyday because I know that my voice alone stands as a whisper, but even with that sound alone I recognize that my white - passing privilege speaks in VOLUMES. Alton Sterling is more than just a hashtag. He was a father of 5 children and a man of dignity. He deserves just as much respect as any cis white male with a badge and a gun. Say his name. Say it for Sandra, Natasha, Trayvon, Tamir, Rekia, John & Eric, and millions of other innocent black lives who don’t get the justice that they deserve every single day. Please take care of yourselves tonight, you’re all so valid and beautiful. #blacklivesmatter , always have and always will.
