In a world where after committing a crime, the religion you practice determines if you are a terrorist or a mental patient

I AM MUSLIM & PROUD

In a world were slavery is claimed to have been abolished but replaced by a modern form

I AM BLACK & PROUD

In a world were answering the name Abdul or Khan makes you a security risk

I AM MUSLIM & PROUD

In a world were the colour of your skin determines your guilt or innocence in court

I AM BLACK & PROUD

In a world were keeping the beard or wearing the hijab puts a target on your back

I AM MUSLIM & PROUD

In a world were racism is frowned upon in the open but practiced behind closed doors

I AM BLACK & PROUD

In a world were wearing a niqab by the muslim woman is seen as oppression but wearing a veil by a catholic nun is seen as religious freedom

I AM MUSLIM & PROUD

In a world where being black and muslim is tantamount to treason

I AM BLACK, MUSLIM & PROUD

STOP RACISM AND RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY
