As salam alaykum
Dear readers:
I'm not sure if this is the best way to express my sympathy to Mike Tyson, whose daughter died recently. However, I read an article today that was very touching and real. It inspired me to atleast say something on this tragedy. In the sports column the writer mentioned all the horrible things that Mike Tyson has done and some of his bad decisions, but he did not stop there. He concluded by mentioning the humane, father side of Mike Tyson and his displays of love that were witnessed for his children and all other children. I personally remember those affections on display when Masjid As Sabur was a small building. Mike with his entourage would fill the Jumua before a fight. He always seemed to be more comfortable around the innocent youth even if they were asking for autographs. He would buy ice cream for all of the children in the Masjid and all of the neighborhood kids that happen to come alone. It is strange, that out of all the Muslim stars and superstars, no one has been more down to earth in my experience except Muhammad Ali.

My dear parents came to visit me from Philadelphia and of course I had to take them to see the sights and the lights of the Las Vegas strip. So I prepared myself for the too close for comfort crowds, the smoky casinos, and all the haram goings-on, but I did not prepare to JUDGE NOT. . . I was fine at first cruising from casino to casino pushing my baby stroller, wearing a colorful hijab and matching tunic. Then we landed at the Fashion Show mall food court. As my parents chowed down, my eye caught a glimpse of a scantily clad young woman laughing with her friends. All of a sudden I became fixated on this woman, clad in a purple spandex mini-dress, sparkly gold strappy platform heels, platinum gold long hair extensions, too-blue-to-be-true contact lenses, and enough make-up to paint the Sistine Chapel! My fixation quickly progressed to obsession as I thought: “Wow, she really thinks she’s cute. Ha!" “I mean she’s dressed like a two-dollar whore!” “No respectable man would be attracted to THAT!” Then I became all pious, thinking: “Poor thing, she needs Islam”. “She just doesn’t know any better. SHE IS LOST”.
