Kamran Pasha: Digging Up Muslim Graves



Hi gang. I'm back from my week long hiatus. But before posting some new and original material, I want to share this piece from The Huffington Post by author and film maker Kamran Pasha. He tells the tale of the death of his father and what this nation meant to him, touches on the Muslim rites at burial, and he talks about Sufi Islam and it's beauty and beliefs.

And Mr. Pasha juxtaposes these enlightening topics with a town in New York state, that is fueled by xenophobia and hatred, and seeks to dig up the graves of Muslim dead and move them, all as a political stunt.

A wonderful, moving, but sad and shocking comment on the times in which we live.

Click below, and by all means, read.
