The American Muslim - TAM - The Original
(Note:  The American Muslim (TAM) is not and never has been in any way affiliated with the Muslim American Society or their publication. Since 2001 they have gone by a remarkably similar title, however we are proud to be the original, published in print or online since 1989.)

GOOD NEWS STORIES BY/ABOUT/FOR MUSLIMS 2013

2012, 2011. We will update this regularly. 

MARCH 28, 2016 UPDATE

— Due to a series of personal issues, I will not be updating this site for some time.  The site will remain online, and there are many useful articles and article collections that may be utilized for research.

TAM RESOURCES FOR DEALING WITH ISLAMOPHOBES

provides a great deal of information in a summarized format.  Clicking on any of the many links provided in this collection will take you to an article that provides a response or analysis of the particular claim or issue.  Many of these articles have extensive collections of articles and reference materials.  The easiest way to use this would be to use a “Ctrl F” search to find a response to any particular issue, claim, or common anti-Muslim meme.  For example:  Muslim Brotherhood Document, or unindicted co-conspirator, or taqiyya, etc.

TAM’s Who’s Who of the Anti-Muslim/Anti-Arab/Islamophobia Industry

provides links to profiles and backgrounders on the key players.  It is regularly updated.

On TAM, we have published a number of articles on the ongoing controversy over a series of ads being published in public spaces across the country by the hate groups AFDI/SIOA.  These articles include many sources and references regarding discussion of different aspects of this controversy:  See TAM article collection on the ongoing AFDI “savage/civilized/jihad/Islamorealism” ad wars

HISTORIC EVENTS AND PEOPLE THAT SHAPED THE AMERICAN MUSLIM COMMUNITY

There have been a number of lists published (see bottom of the collection) over the years, but most were somewhat exclusive, focusing on particular segments of our American Muslim community.  This list is the beginning of what I hope will be a much expanded list.  If you have information about people, organizations, historical incidents, firsts, etc. that should be included here (and can provide a link or a reference from a book to document that information), or if you know about something that occurred earlier than what I have listed as a first, please send that information to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

“Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong you will do wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong (even) if they do evil.” — Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.  This world in arms is not spending money alone.  It is spending the sweat of its laborers,  the genius of its scientists,  the hopes of its children….This is not a way of life at all in any true sense.  Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. — Dwight D. Eisenhower farewell speech to the American people.
