I don't know who you are, but thank you for standing outside my son's Islamic school to let him know he is welcome in your America

Salams, and wishing you the best in these last 10 days of Ramadan! We created Zabihah way back in 1998 so that we could power the halal food revolution. Since then we've served millions of Halal foodies around the world with the best halal food nearby. We've now rewritten everything from scratch and plan to introduce several new features we've been pondering for years now. Stay tuned!

After years of building Zabihah into the leading global platform for halal discovery, we’re taking the next step in our evolution — and it’s a major one. Zabihah is merging with @RiverAppHQ, a rapidly growing fintech infrastructure company focused on compliant, cross-border payments. Zabihah will become the brand & gateway to the halal economy — powered by River’s infrastructure. As part of this merger, Arman Khwaja is joining River as Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer, and @shahed will lead Zabihah’s transition into a halal payments platform within River. Why River? River is scaling fast — processing tens of millions in annualized volume, growing 550% this year, and already working with governments, telecoms, and platforms to: - Replace informal hawala systems - Power Shariah-compliant remittances - Enable digital wallets at global scale The River team includes founders of category-defining companies and is backed by former leaders from Venmo, Brex, and Deel — who are not just advisors, but also investors. Why Zabihah? Because trust matters. Because reach matters. Because building for the global Muslim market requires both. Together, we’re building the world’s first end-to-end halal commerce ecosystem — from discovery to delivery to remittance. And we’re just getting started. Let’s build the future of halal fintech — together. #halal #fintech #startups #muslim #zabihah #payments #remittances

If a $500 drone can have a “return to home” feature, perhaps a $80M jet should have that too

JUST IN: Footage of the debris field of the F-35 jet has been released after it was located in a field in Williamsburg County, South Carolina. The crash site was about 80 miles from Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina. The F-35 fighter jet appeared to run through a group of trees before crashing down in the field. In 2019, concerns were raised by the Pentagon of the possibility that the F-35 could be hacked. It’s still unclear what caused the crash…

Just hung up the phone with 2 young Libyan men, who within mere minutes into the interview, he found out he lost his wife, his child, his parents, his sister, his brothers, his uncle, the uncle's family, & his aunt. Their bodies were just found. Everyone is broken.

Any news interview that doesn't get uncomfortable at some point is not news but rather entertainment. Here's hoping all news interviews get as uncomfortable as @mehdirhasan makes his.
"I want you to answer my question. Three times I've asked it. What did Donald Trump do that was 'downright abhorrent'? It's your words." I asked @VivekGRamaswamy about his old tweets & writings, him criticizing Trump, and it got a little heated. Watch:

“France is unusual among western democracies in its efforts to define and control cultural expression. This has been acutely visible in the nation’s persistent obsession with Muslim visibility, particularly when it comes to Muslim women.” - @RimSarahhyphenonline.com/2023/09/06/…

On the plus side: what a sweet double rainbow
Burning Man already sounds awful, but now over 73,000 attendees are trapped in Black Rock City & have been told to shelter in place & conserve food & water. What a fkn nightmare.

When people copy you, the best strategy is usually to ignore them. People who copy you are (a) unoriginal and (b) opportunists, and those are both strong predictors of failure. If you wait them out, they'll eventually drop away.

I have a dream... that French schoolchildren will be judged by the contents of their heads, not what they wear on top of them

Important to clearly state the truth, which is that Prigozhin was a mass-murderer, responsible for atrocities on at least three different continents.
