Koran Curious: A Book ReviewHassan Ibrahim
September 14, 2011
There has been and always will be a struggle between those that lack understanding and tolerance, and those who seek to live by the golden rule. The golden rule being to treat people the way that you would like to be treated or the way they want to be treated.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Art imitating lifeHassan Ibrahim
August 22, 2011
One thing I like about the summer months, other than the long days and sunshine, is the inevitable buffet of summer movies. Although most of the movies during the summer often aren't the most "artistic", they usually are fun and exciting and worth seeing on the big screen. However, sometimes one of these movies surprises me and actually makes me think.
At a Toronto mosque in Ramadan: The value of thingsHassan Ibrahim
August 10, 2011
On Saturday August 6th 2011 (the 6th of Ramadan) I attended a talk by Dr. Mohamed Elmasry at Toronto's Masjid Qurtabah. It was the first in a weekly series of speeches given one hour before having Iftar. About 100 people of all ages and both gender attended. They listened intently to Dr. Elmasry speak about the "value of things".
A New Egypt: A Book ReviewHassan Ibrahim
July 29, 2011
An inside perspective is often the most interesting because as an outsider we often miss out on the intimate details that make a story complete. "A New Egypt: The January 25th Revolution - With an Eyewitness DVD" by Dr. Mohamed Elmasry, is one such inside perspective.
Bin Laden’s death and the “war on terror”Hassan Ibrahim
July 13, 2011
Most of us including myself will always remember where we were and what we were doing when the World Trade Center Towers fell on September 11, 2001. In fact the images are seared into our brain from either the nature of the event or the repeated Medias use of the horrific acts to continuously draw our attention.
A book review: Islam at the Crossroads by Muhammad AsadHassan Ibrahim

Muhammad Asad dedicates his book Islam at the Crossroads to "the Muslim youth of today in hopes that it may be of benefit." He did this in not only the first edition, which was published in 1934, but also in the author's note to the revised edition, which was published in 1982.

Geert Wilders: Don't let the blissfully ignorant into my countryHassan Ibrahim
May 16, 2011
How do you deal with an ignorant bully? Well, when we were young and on the schoolyard we were told to ignore the bully and walk away.
Machete, a movie review Hassan Ibrahim
December 2, 2010
If I were to tell you that the movie Machete had a lot of extreme violence in it, you would probably be justified in calling me "Captain Obvious". If I were to tell you that it had a lot of swearing and nudity in it, you might be less sarcastic, but you probably wouldn’t be shocked. Now, if I were to tell you that Machete had an underlying socio-political message, you would probably call me a liar, but you would be wrong.
