Throwback to my last trip to Anfield, which incidentally was the last time Sham City came thru…and when I was able to perfectly capture this MASTERPIECE #YNWA

Twenty-five years on from 9/11, we still tend to assume what American Muslims think rather than check the data. Today I'm launching the ADAM (Aggregated Data on American Muslims) Project: a free site that makes ISPU and Pew surveys more accessible. Check it out! adam.chouhoud.com

Thanks so much Diana! Planning to still remain in the broader nerd ecosystem so that I can continue to interact and collaborate with fine folks like you :-)

Thanks! And I’ll probably make use of that liberty despite my caveat :-)

We lost an absolute giant in the scholarly community. Dr. Esposito did much to counter the errant public perspectives on Muslims and Islam in the aftermath of 9/11--and he uplifted a generation of scholars trying to do the same. May his memory be a blessing. www.linkedin.com/pulse/memori...

One accomplishment of the late Qatar Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa, was the establishment of @AJArabic as a dominant media force. Why did he do it? What has Qatar gotten out of it? How did it succeed? My analysis from The World Through Arab Eyes, here: www.brookings.edu/articles/al-...

Oh wow! No reversal. And the same VAR team. Gosh, wonder what the difference could be 🤔

You may be tempted to call this chutzpah. It wasn't. It was not nerve or audacity that drove these settlers to DETAIN A SITTING US LEGISLATOR. It was impunity. They knew, with CERTAINTY, that nothing would happen to them.

A rare endearing (and super nerdy!) "well, actually"

Meme-style image with white text on a black background reading: "A Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup."

Below, a quote: "It's factually wrong; they didn't row, they sailed over the Atlantic."

Two photos show fans in red-and-blue Norway jerseys seated in a stadium, one man resting his chin on his hand looking unimpressed.

The more I think about it the angrier I get I don’t want Messi to just lose, I want him to lose in disgrace And a single loss isn’t enough for this team I want this match to be the beginning of a century WC finals drought for Argentina I want BIBLICAL revenge

I’m rooting so hard for Colombia 🇨🇴 I hope they put this team of wannabe Europeans in their place I hope they score 5 on them so that there is no opportunity for FIFA and the refs to fix it And, of course, in case there was any doubt, it’s otherwise Dima Maghrib 🇲🇦 all the way
