the cinnamon peeler's wife

with yusuf islam and tariq ramadan being denied entry into the us, the recent bomb in the midst of so many iraqi children, and a suicide bomber in a crowded shiaa mosque in sialkot, i can't help but have a terrible sinking feeling in my stomach. as i sit here in a liberal, artsy, yuppie coffeehouse, i can barely swallow my overpriced latte. i just can't handle the absurdity of my life. i just go on day in, day out and lose my self in mundaness and frivolity so as to ignore the reality of everything. watching the debates and thinking about vacation, i feel like i am in one of those crazy surrealist landscapes of dali.

anyway find out more for yourself:

yusuf islam in his own words in the la times: something bad has begun.
