My national identity is first American. My religious identity is first Muslim.
Rationalizing him and the glass pipe, Dad smoked crack, but he was not a crackhead; it was just something he did. To do something didn't define you, I thought. I saw Dad through a dusty lens that distorted our relationship, as tarnished as his pipe. ...
I think every person has their own identity and beauty. Everyone being different is what is really beautiful. If we were all the same, it would be boring.
An identity based in the one-way love of God does not take into account public opinion or, thankfully, even personal opinion.
It was sort of an experiment to try to leave the violin. Can I be a real person without this thing? It was a big part of my identity.
A few years back, an American Jewish feminist academic sent me a request for an interview... The professor presented herself as a `gender scholar`, another postmodernist discipline that fails to inspire my intellect. However, I was curious to see wha...
