Salaam, the names Mohamed. I'm a twenty-something living in Calgary.

If you are reading this, I'd like to welcome you to my Tumblr. This blog is a space where i share stuff. Mostly, it's comprised of interesting content from around the web but occasionally there's glimpses into my personal life of moments I'd like to share and never forget.

If you enjoy your time here, I hope that you'll join me as i continue on in this exercise in writing and living.

السلام عليكم / Peace.
“

As I have walked among the desperate, rejected, and angry young men, I have told them that Molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve their problems. I have tried to offer them my deepest compassion while maintaining my conviction that social change comes most meaningfully through nonviolent action.

But they ask — and rightly so — what about Vietnam? They ask if our own nation wasn’t using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted.

Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today — my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.
