​Now that we have felt the pangs of restraint during Ramadan and hopefully found ourselves examining and interrogating our appetites, vanities and self-interests, what have we found crowding our thoughts, making us uneasy? I suspect that all in the Muslim community are suffering from an undiagnosed and certainly untreated fear of ‘what next.’ I have thought a lot about Surat Al-Fil (105). What are the elephants in American society looking to destabilize/eradicate in the Muslim community? The elephants in the front line of attack bring Islamophobia in all of its ugliness. We all know the narratives – good Muslims v bad Muslims; Muslim women continue to be oppressed; all Muslims are potential terrorists and so on.
