Did you know Dracula had a Muslim arch-nemesis? History conveniently forgot to mention that Radu the Handsome, brother to Vlad the Impaler, was a devout Muslim. He didn’t just sip tea with the Ottomans—he helped them conquer Constantinople. But Hollywood had other plans for Muslims on screen. Fact: 936 out of 1,000 pre-9/11 films portrayed Arabs and Muslims [...]
Picture this: It’s 11 PM. The scent of your cooling chai lingers as you sink into your chair, muscles aching. Another day of juggling work, family, and deen in a world that often misunderstands you weighs heavy on your shoulders. Your fingers brush against the glossy cover of the latest comic, hoping for a moment’s peace. [...]
Flashy stunts may grab headlines, but let’s be real—they don’t win wars, and they certainly don’t secure the future. Take these recent Mossad attacks in Lebanon, for example. They bear all the hallmarks of eager young intelligence officers, desperate to impress but hopelessly misguided in strategy. Exhibit A: The James Bond villain”-style pager stunt—it’s a self-own, accomplishing [...]
You know, the state of storytelling today reminds me a lot of what’s happening in business and tech.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this growing trend of writers using AI (artificial intelligence) to craft scripts, structure, and even dialogue. Honestly?

Half of which are psychiatric drugs The other half are diabetes and obesity drugs .The ads almost always have mixed race, overweight groups of people, [...]
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work in tech and achieve great success. But I always felt something was missing in the world of entertainment – authentic, positive portrayals of Muslims in dark fantasy stories. That’s why I created the Brotherhood of the Wolf, a unique comic book series that fills this storytelling gap. And [...]
Have you ever heard the phrase, “Grasping at straws is a sure way to drown”? Picture this: someone struggling in deep water, desperately reaching out for anything to keep them afloat—but all they find are a few flimsy straws. It’s a losing battle…. Albert Einstein put it another way: “The definition of insanity is doing the [...]
Ever feel like your favorite shows and movies are going off the rails lately? You’re not alone. Hollywood’s got a problem. They’re focusing on the wrong things, and it’s messing with our entertainment. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m fine with diverse characters. But when that’s all they care about?
