Kammys Musing

• This is the title of a book published in 2025, written by Omar El Akkad
• My Kindle history shows that I am at page 98 of 172. I wonder when I would be able to finish it.
• The book revolves around the Palestinian struggle and the continuing genocide since the inception of the state of Israel.
• Omar also shares his experience living/working in a Western country and the double standards of Western imperialism.
• At the time of writing, a ceasefire has been announced – unfortunately just on the surface.

• Palestinians are still murdered in cold blood and broad daylight (including journalists), illegal settlers are still clearing villages.
• For an everyday Muslim like me, it bleeds my heart seeing this continously happening.
• I applaud those who stood up to this at the detriment of their career/status – be it you a politician, movie star, influencer, role models. You know who you are – you will be remembered.
• Just like any other history chapters we read, this will come to an end. And when that happens, we will rejoice.
• “Do not think ˹O Prophet˺ that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them until a Day when ˹their˺ eyes will stare in horror…. rushing forth, heads raised, never blinking, hearts void”

Until then, stay hungry, stay sane.
