I heard about this when it was in the works. When I heard about the idea of a blog that focuses on modern and mostly western Shia Muslim viewpoints (politics, religion, culture, etc) I was immediately interested.

this happens

When I was in Florida this last December I noticed quite an anti Muslim sentiment in the air almost where ever I went. Especially since I was with covered Muslim women for the majority of my trip I felt like the chance of me having to scuffle some hick was extraordinarily high.

When I recently saw this it made me shake my head in disappointment and anger.
