Muslim Magic-The First Day of Ramadan
It was May 26, 2017, the first day of Ramadan, the
most important Holy day of the Muslim people, when
Taliesin got on the MAX train after work. Shortly after,
Jeremy Christian, a self-proclaimed White Supremist,
got on board and began verbally assaulting two teen-
age girls - a Muslim-American wearing a hajib, and an
African-American girl. In a country laced with Islam-
ophobia and prejudice, the stage was set - a lesson for
all of humanity. Taliesin’s last words, “Tell everyone on
the train I love them”, rippled across the globe, demon-
strating that love is greater than hate.
