TED: Shereen El Feki: Pop culture in the Arab world

Hello Everyone,

I can’t agree more with Shereen here, I think what’s happening in such media channels from recreating and Islamic version of heroes and popular items is very positive.

She just made a standard mistake of mixing between Islam, Culture and being Arab. Islam is a religious belief and a way to manage our life, it’s not a culture or something targeting a specific ethnicity or background.

I hope to see more similar media outlets that inspire us to be good Muslims, while maintaining our religious teachings in the way things are presented.

Stay cool and open minded

Back to YouTube!

Asalamo Alikum Everyone!

Well, just pushing myself to post more videos! I know that’s getting strange, I made similar videos maybe more than videos with real content.

I was going through a bit of a lonely attitude lately and just love being with myself. But as they say: Don’t die with your music in you!! felt like having a lot to share and don’t leave me with a good feeling keeping it inside!

Sometimes we just want to be with ourselves, getting enough offense from the outside world and trying to measure the value of doing public activities and whether it’s really worthy or not!

I think I’m getting over it even for a few genuine individuals who might find anything beneficial in what I say.

Pray for me ..
