Hey,
I'm not a computer nerd
Or a terrorist
And I don't live in a cave
Or eat halal
Or own a goat
And I don't know Abdul, Raafi, or Salaam from Pakistan
Although I'm sure they're really peaceful
I have a prime minister; not a dictator
I speak English not Arabic
And I don't shout "Allahu Akbar" in public
I can proudly state my background and I believe in standing up not crouching
Freedom not oppression
And that butter chicken is a truly prideful and tasty dish
Roti is mani and coffee is chai
And it is pronounced "chai," not "cha", "chai"!
Islam is the second largest religion
Often portrayed wrongly,
But it is a religion of peace and tranquility
My name is Fayaz and I am a Muslim!

The star and crescent is a symbol used in Islam. The crescent represents the start of the
Muslim calendar's lunar month, and the star stands for hope and illumination.
