Inshallah & The Creek Don't Rise"Truth Comes Before Reconciliation: An Exercise in American Truth-Telling"On November 7th, the Nebraska Journal on Advancing Justice published an article that I wrote about the history of Nemaha County, Nebraska, where my mother’s family has been farming for six generations. The article explores what local and family history reveal about America and how the future of family farmland in Nemaha County points towards bigger questions about the future of rural America. The article offers its research and storytelling as a model for truth-telling in America on our long, ongoing road to reconciling injustice. The article was the result of 1.5 years of research. I wrote th...

Inshallah & The Creek Don't RiseI have thoughts about the Charlie Kirk assassinationCONTENT WARNING: Graphic language, descriptions of violenceSocial media and traditional media alike are buzzing with discourse about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Most of the discourse I’ve seen seems to focus on Charlie Kirk’s character and hand-wringing about political violence. I see all the signs of classic online discourse - people present their hot take and then defend it against detractors.I have seen very little conversation so far that goes deeper and considers, whatever your hot take is, what is the ethical framework you are using to reach that conclusion? What is t...

Inshallah & The Creek Don't RiseThis Eid I Wore a Crocheted ShawlThis weekend Muslims around the world celebrated Eid Al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice. Over the years my relationship to this holiday has grown deeper and my understanding of the story that inspires it has blossomed. But it’s a challenging one, one that required a lot of working through before something finally clicked.This essay is an attempt to share what I’ve learned from Eid Al-Adha with a broader audience. Many hearts are troubled these days and looking for sources of courage. I hope to walk you through my understanding of the Eid Al-A...

Inshallah & The Creek Don't Rise"please look."Watch the video version here.Gather around children, it’s story time. [Hi, Sweetpea (the cat).]Okay, story time. So I grew up in a small town in Indiana called Bloomington. And in 1968, I believe, there was a firebombing of a Black-owned bookstore. And after the firebombing, the original owners of the bookstore dedicated the lot where their store had been to become “People's Park.” And they worked with the city to designate the lot as a park that was for the people, by the people, of the people, and wrote it into the de...

The Islamic calendar is a little bit different from the Gregorian calendar. In 2025, Ramadan is basically the entire month of March. But it used to be over the summer.Some of you may know I'm a musician. I have done quite a bit of touring. And so there was a period of years where I would frequently be touring during the summer - during Ramadan. And I've toured quite a number of rural areas. So I...

Inshallah & The Creek Don't RiseProjecting 2025As we begin 2025, I see a lot of hand-ringing. “How bad is it going to get?” It’s a valid question. It was a valid question before the election and remains a valid question after Trump’s re-election. That being said, amongst liberals and progressives, especially those who live in urban bubbles or are college-educated/professional class, I am hearing a lot of sweeping fear and despair. This essay is addressed to that fear and despair. I’d like to share my analysis about bad outcomes that I believe are realistic, or perhaps more importantly, who will suffer most. I would al...

Inshallah & The Creek Don't RiseUnderstanding Rural America: A ZineMy motivation for writing this booklet is JD Vance becoming Donald Trump’s vice president. JD Vance wrote Hillbilly Elegy and claims to be a voice for rural and small-town America. I’m American on my mother’s side, and in that maternal lineage, I am the 6th generation to grow up in rural/small-town America. I cannot stay silent.One of the biggest problems with JD Vance and his Hillbilly Elegy is that it plays into many of the worst right-wing attitudes about poverty. Ultimately, Vance’s take reinforces the idea that poverty is a character flaw and...

Inshallah & The Creek Don't RiseWilmington, 1898Today I want to tell you about a violent coup and massacre that happened in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1898. It’s little-known incident but one that reveals a lot about American history.* Wilmington, NC circa 1898North Carolina in 1898 was in the middle of Reconstruction after the civil war. Formerly enslaved people and their descendants were growing a middle class as well as a political class - Black people in North Carolina were actually voting, holding office, opening businesses, and building generational wealth. This was true other places in the country as well, it wasn’t uniq...

Inshallah & The Creek Don't RiseAEAB (All Empires Are Barmy)So I’ve been thinking about America’s supreme difficulty with truth-telling. And, seemingly, the lack of capacity as a society for truth-telling. Especially about this society’s history. And how this is coming up with books about racism in the United States being banned from schools and curriculums, and things like that. Just all of this erasure, just all of this combating against truth-telling about United States history that’s going on in education right now.For some context, I spent part of my childhood in England. I went to school there when I was eight years ol...

If this story speaks to you, then take whatever you need from it.The story is a lesson that I learned as a Muslim. It is a lesson I learned from being at Standing Rock in 2016 at the Indigenous-led camps resisting the DAPL pipeline. That’s not directly related to Palestine but of course all of th...
