| (In a conference on the GWOT, 9/11 and "Islamic ideology", I was in the speaking panel) | |
| Young British man in the crowd asks me: | Are you apologetic about 9/11? |
| Me: | No. I don't apologize for 9/11. Why should I? I had nothing to do with it. I'm only sorry about the lives lost - regardless of who they were. But I am NOT a spokesperson for Al-Qaeda. No sensible Muslim is. Do I ask British people to apologize to me for colonizing my country back then, taking the rights of the masses away, ending freedom of speech, creating problematic borders that led to bloodshed, sexually assaulting the women of my land, westernizing the entire pedagogues in the subcontinent, turning my culture and my identity into a mystical subject for orientalist authors to go capitalize on? Have I asked you to say sorry to me? |

Lucy | 3.5 years old, American Staffordshire Terrier | Adoptable
Lucy grew up in an abusive home where her nose + jaw were broken and she had teeth removed so she wouldn’t fight back during mating. She was also used as a bait dog. Despite all of that she is a total sweetheart.
Reblogging because Lucy still needs a home! Lucy’s Facebook page.
This is really melancholy, I think this dog is incredibly cute, but it pains me to know how she got that way. Fuck animal abusers. Someone give this dog a home.
I want to hold her :’(
Id take her in a heartbeat.
