For those of you who haven’t already heard, our brother in Islam Mahdi Ahmad, one of the guys that’s worked on Ummah Films was almost murdered last month by unknown assailants in Los Angeles.

Mahdi suffered a depressed skull fracture among other injuries as well as minor amnesia. Alhamdulillah he is  recovering from his injuries.

Mahdi made a video above talking about his thoughts on the incident.

3 x 10 :: Day 01

1. Produce a documentary about NYPD cops that are Muslim. Tell their story of fitting in with the other cops. Dealing with their own diverse back grounds and Muslim identity and facing danger at times for the protection of innocent people.
2. Produce an online video series that in an entertaining way address the issue of calendar holidays. For example, Valentines day: Its pagan roots, the legend of the Valentine card – a priest who married soldiers to women which was against the empires wishes and resulted in his death and a note to a woman who took care of him in his tortured state. Series would address the affect of these holidays on our culture and Islamic well being.
3. Refocus Tufaan to address not so much the hurricane, but the overall human struggle and adjust the artistic approach of the movie to something more eye candy such as motion graphics.
