Some know Azeem from his time as the Young Muslims national coordinator. Others know him as that awesome ICNA guy. I personally know him as the guy who egged me on to make the Young Muslims Promo Video. Today we know him as the man that laid the smack down on Peter King.

Many of you may have heard of or seen the media coverage surrounding Imam Siraj Wahhaj and the recent ad campaign that is yet to launch in Ramadan from 1 877 Why Islam. A lot of negative news coverage has been going around about it and how “terrorists” are behind the campaign. This is just the type of ignorance the campaign is going to eliminate inshaAllah.

For more info on the “You Deserve to Know” NYC Subway ad campaign watch the video below.

The following video is a song that brothers from the group called “Travelers” did at the entertainment session at ICNA2008. The song they did was titled “Every Night and Every Day” by Metus Curtis, but they instead of using instruments had very well done beatboxing.

enjoy

Stu Maschwitz (author of The DV Rebel’s Guide) post on his blog the other day a trailer for a short film by Ayyaz Waraich (judging by the name, I think he’s Muslim) titled “White Red Panic.”

What do I mean by “filming totally naked”? The trailer above was shot with a “naked” Canon HV20…

…without any special 35MM lens attachments or gizmos. Just your simple $600 camera.

It’s amazing what sort of results keeping to simple principals of video, photo, lighting, sound, and editing can get you.

Personally I’m looking to get the Canon HF100.

It’s similar to to the HV20 in price and features, except that instead of recording to tape in HDV, it records to SDHC flash media in AVCHD (compressed high definition) format. Personally I hate tape and the time it takes to transfer.
