The year is 1995, congress member Bernie Sanders stands in opposition of a homophobic statement said by Duke Cunningham. Cunningham derisively refers to “homos in the military” to support his argument while (strangely) discussing the Clean Water Act. Sanders, having none of it, quickly rises to the defense of thousands of men and women everywhere. Sanders ire is such that he repeatedly disrespects the Chairman by speaking over him in order to say his piece. [Video Source]

What does this say for Sanders? Well, that’s for you to decide. But to me, it says that for 20+ years strong he has shown his public support for LGBT+ persons everywhere, even in the face of ridicule and disrespect. Unlike some, Sanders has always been vocal about his beliefs concerning the LGBT+ community, and he has always held them. Key word always, and not just when doing so might garner him support for his campaigns.

I always find it comical when Christians (mostly whites) say racist things bout Arabs. Like did you forget that Jesus was Palestinian? And if you need a geography lesson, Palestine is in the Middle East, which means that Jesus was indeed middle eastern. So why be racist against your own God, or the son of God (which ever you believe).

I love it when people do stuff like this.

“My son made his mother cry, but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children,” Mujahid Ali, Aitzaz’s father is quoted as saying.

Every second pakistani is an unsung hero. This seventeen year old school boy, got late for school assembly. When he saw an usual person leaping towards his school. First he shouted to stop, then he grabbed a stone and it missed him. Aitzaz ran towards him grabbed him, and right then the suicide bomber exploded. Aitzaz was martyred but saved lives of 300 school students and teachers.

It’s the first Martyrdom Anniversary of Shaheed Aitzaz Hassan. Aitzaz saved his school from a brutal and tragic attack, much like the one which happened in Peshawar by sacrificing his own Life. 

Proud of you my dear fellow.  Proud of the brave kids of Pakistan. What a hero, lost. May Allah bless his soul.

“I remember wearing my bathers under my school uniform and jumping in the water before school. I’d always find sand in everything from my shoes to my pencil case. These days I really miss living so close to the ocean. I love when I can spend summers at the beach and let my hair just dry naturally from the sea salt.”
