As a devout Muslim, I decided to follow after my Islamic mentor, Alan, and start growing out my beard. How does it look? Alan told me several times that people have made fun of him by calling him 'Arab' and recently his boss asked him, "Who are you trying to be, Osama bin Laden?" Although Alan and I are devout in our Muslimic faith, we hope people don't judge us based on what has been happening recently. We would like to take this opportunity to come forth to proclaim our innocence and hope people will not shun us due to Middle Eastern background. Alan and I immigrated from Iraq to this country in 1994. During that time, we have lived a peaceful life, free from the war torn, hate filled countryland we escaped from. We hope each of us can help end this violence and do our part to spread love instead of hate.

Jeff, if you are indeed a Muslim, then why are you wearing a Spartan Helmet? You're dishonoring your Persian roots.
