Johnny Depp converts to Islam

While visiting Morocco Johnny Depp converted to Islam.

Personally I’ve always thought that Johnny Depp and Hamza Yusuf had an uncanny resemblance. I wonder if I’ll be able to tell the difference now at this year’s upcoming ISNA.

Don’t believe me? To read the full story click here.

Share with friends. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older - about one in four adults - suffer from a diagnosable mental illness in any given year. However, stigma surrounding mental illness is a major barrier that prevents people from seeking the mental health treatment that they need.

“I thank my friends who contributed to my defense, for their prayers and sacrifice, & those I don’t know, and Allah knows them.” - Ahmed Abu-Ali

“To believe that this young man is a threat to this country is ludicrous.” -Ahmed’s neighbor [Amnesty International, Washington Post, Democracy Now! has also covered the story]

In 08, Ahmed was denied Obama’s, Dreams from My Father & Audacity of Hope b/c they have info “potentially detrimental to national security”

Ahmed’s case is the first time the government has used secret evidence to detain a US citizen

Since Ahmed has been wrongfully incarcerated, both his brother & father lost their jobs. It’s not easy finding a job as an Abu-Ali.

Ahmed’s cell is the size of 2 queen mattresses pushed together. It has no windows.

Ahmed is allowed limited monthly phone calls with immediate family only. Friends & reporters are out of the question.

The next time you take more than 12 steps, think about Ahmed. In his tiny cell, he cannot walk more than 12 feet at a time.

Imagine everyday in the same room. For 1 year. For 2 years. For 3 years… For 9 years. Let’s make this affliction a nightmare of the past.

“During my first year in solitary darkness my mind collapsed into a state of indescribable anguish and hysteria”-Sidney Rittenberg

Ahmed’s family is in the last stages of appeals please help spread the word before it is too late.

If you have a soul you will reblog and spread Ahmed’s story. I don’t care if I lose all my followers as long as one more person knows of his story. If you don’t stand up for someone it could be you next.

Petition is in process.

If you can’t even acknowledge the existence of Palestinians, I can’t acknowledge you as a source of knowledge.
