I’ll be taking a break from blogging until 07/06/2009. You can still keep update with the latest on Islam and the West via my Twitter account which can be found @islamwest.

Until then I wish you the best.

Quote: Jospeh Massad’s Definition Of Zionism

“Zionism as a colonial movement is constituted in ideology and practice by a religio-racial epistemology through which it apprehends itself and the world around it. This religioracial grid informs and is informed by its colonial-settler venture. The colonial model remains the best model through which Zionism should be analyzed, but it is important also to analyze the racial dimension of Zionism in its current manifestation, which is often elided.”

~ Jospeh Massad, Associate Professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia University.
