It is Possible

To become dehydrated from crying.

The Headline of Yahoo News in 2050

"Muslim woman discovers cure for cancer. In other news, Muslim men discover Muslim women do things."

I think the hardest thing for Muslims to do is stop fearing "how they see us" and start asking "who am I?". Only then can anything such as an honest "Muslim Cinema" exist - when individuals start critically looking at their own life stories and personal journeys, should they really attempt film. Cinema may have spectacle, but at its heart, it is an examination of human experience. Any attempt to sugar coat it or use it to project an idealized version of events to portray the best of a people to compensate for negative media attention will only read false.

the phone rang. I thought, 'that's either her calling to tell me her camera's broken, or her brother has passed away.' I let it go to voicemail because I had too many tasks to finish.

just when you've pulled all your hair out from organized religion, there's always that higher-than-thou idiot who comes along and asks if you're hot in that scarf. so I eat my toast with headphones on among humans: most people are ignorant as shit, organized or not.
