"Flower Sniffin', Kitty Pettin', Baby Kissin' Corporate Rock Whores"
By Saira KhanLast semester while doing a radio show a friend and I got into many arguments regarding what to play. He preferred mainstream R&B, rap, and hip hop whereas I liked trance, house, and of course all the good old school rock. I distinctly remember a song he put on one night because of its ‘verbose' lyrics, "It's purple purp purple purp purple and swallow it down with the yurple yip yurple yip yurples" (Three 6 Mafia). He spent five minutes laughing when he saw the look on my face.Mainstream music of this decade has, for the lack of a better ... Read More
Judeislamoanity: World's religions more similar than not
By Saira Khan
It seems that, ever since 9/11, the entire world knows about Islam, or at least they think they do. Generally, the only thing people know about it is that some Muslim women cover their hair, that there are many crazy Islamic fundamentalists out there, and finally, that they believe in Allah. Beyond this, no one seems to know anything else about the religion. "Your god is Allah, right?" is a question that has been directed towards me numerous times. What people fail to realize is that Allah is simply the Arabic word for God. Arabs of all faiths use the ... Read More
Grammys prove an exciting piece of award season
By Saira KhanIt's time to roll out the red carpet! The beginning of a new year is probably the most exciting for all celebrities, because with it comes award season. With the Emmys, Grammys, and Oscars lined up in the span of three short months, celebrities barely have anytime to check into rehab or expose themselves between events. The latest event to take place was on February 11: the Grammys. Shadowed by the death of Anna Nicole Smith and the excitement of Valentine's Day, not much attention was given to this award ceremony. This year's event was filled with lots of surprises, ... Read More
Anti-abortion gag rule ends more lives than it saves
By Saira Khan
Fact: Roughly 20 million unsafe abortions are performed each year, the majority of in developing nations. Fact: Roughly 78,000 of these women die each year. Fact: The United States promised to donate $15 billion in aid to fight AIDS. Fact: Of that $15 billion not a single penny will go to any organization, clinic, or doctor that even discusses abortion. For that past six years, the United States has been enforcing a strict anti-abortion policy that has been extended to try and include foreign countries. All this started in 1984, when during Ronald Reagan's presidency a policy was introduced in ... Read More
Pulling out: Britain's best response
By Saira KhanOn March 20th, it will be exactly four years since President George W. Bush led this country into Iraq. Following close behind us were the British. From the very beginning of the "war on terrorism", the UK has had our back. Over the course of the past four years, they have had thousands of troops in Iraq who now hold Basra. The tides took a rapid turn when, just last week, Tony Blair announced that he would be pulling a number of his troops out of Iraq within the coming months. He intends on cutting the British troops from 7,100 ... Read More
UMBC's vitality for women's studies
By Saira KhanIt took 25 years, but they finally did it; UMBC now officially offers a B.A in Gender and Women's Studies. You're probably wondering who I mean by 'they'? Well, I refer to all the strong and dedicated women who have worked at UMBC and were determined to get what they wanted. I had the honor of listening to four of these women talk about their journeys in a forum on Tuesday, March 6 at the library titled 25 Years of Scholarship, Activism and Teaching in Gender & Women's Studies". The panelists included Joan Korenman, founding director of the Center of ... Read More
The rising Islamist threat to the world
By Saira KhanLast week, bombs ripped through the prime minister's office in Algeria, destroying tentative peace and killing at least 33 people. Around that same time, three suicide bombers blew themselves up and a fourth was shot by police in Casablanca. What did these people have in common? They were all Islamists. It seems that in the past few weeks, Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups have resurfaced after a somewhat dormant couple of months. The bombings in Algeria are said to have been the worst since 2002, when a bomb detonated in a suburb injured 80 people and killed 38. For a ... Read More
Pro-choice dealt a heavy blow
By Saira Khan
'Pro-choicers' were dealt a massive blow on Wednesday, April 18 when the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to uphold a ban on late-term abortions. This ruling is the first time since Roe vs. Wade that justices have agreed on banning a certain abortion procedure which makes no exception for the mother's health.The term partial abortion may sound harmless and relatively easy, but let me assure you, it's a scary term. It is a procedure that is conducted late in the pregnancy. The fetus is pulled out of the woman by the legs until only its head it left inside her. The ... Read More
Sex, politicians, and scandals, oh my!
By Saira Khan
No government would be a true government without its fair share of sex and scandals. Washington itself has recovered a few interesting scandals such as the Page Scandal and the more recent one concerning former Senate aide Jessica Cutler giving out 'sexual favors' and then boasting about them on her blog (seriously!). Of course, we cannot forget the ever-so-famous 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman' statement.Earlier this year, a very prominent California based escort service, Pamela Martin & Associates, run by Deborah Jeane Palfrey, was busted. Palfrey was charged with federal racketeering and is currently fighting these ... Read More
SGA formal a surprising success
By Saira KhanOn the night of May 5th, for an hour or so, the streets of UMBC were transformed into a makeshift ballroom. Everywhere you turned, you saw throngs of young men and women decked out in their finest heading towards the Commons circle; my three suitemates and I happened to be among that crowd. The event was the SGA sponsored formal (biggest ever to be held for UMBC) on the Moonlight Cruise at the inner harbor and at $25 a pop it definitely seemed worth while.I must say, UMBC definitely rocked the fashion category. Even though I saw some odd choices, ... Read More
The end of a friendship: Harry Potter and the worldwide literature wonder
By Saira Khan
Have you ever been totally and helplessly in love with a fictional character? Or wished that you could be part of something that you knew you couldn't not because 'it' wouldn't accept you, but simply because 'it' didn't exist? Well, let me be the first person to admit it; I have. I managed to get my hands on a copy of the first Harry Potter book when I was in eighth grade and, let me tell you, it was quite an experience. The notion that we may live among a people that we are totally oblivious to enchanted me. ... Read More
Censorship of Pearl Jam inherently despicable
By Saira Khan
Chances are that anyone who is a Pearl Jam fan knows that the band absolutely despises the Bush administration, and they want to make sure everyone knows. A couple of years ago they released the song "Bu$hleaguer," which sports the following lyrics: "A confident man/ but why so beleaguered? He's not a leader/ he's a Texas leaguer/ Swinging for the fence/ got lucky with a strike." Thus, Eddie Vedder expressing political opinions during one of their concerts isn't surprising. AT&T cutting those expressed opinions out of their webcast is.Lollapalooza took place in early August this year with Pearl Jam as ... Read More
Musharraf might still be the best thing for Pakistan
By Saira Khan
Before the 'war on terror' broke out few people knew that Pakistan was a country, let alone where it was located. There is no doubt about it, 9/11 put Pakistan on the map. Not only that, it also thrust President Pervez Musharraf into the spotlight. Almost immediately he went from being the internationally shunned military leader of Pakistan to close-American ally; yet regardless of his efforts to satisfy the United States, Musharraf-bashing seems to have become a national (and international) pastime. Most of the comments stem from the notions that he hasn't done enough to flush out the terrorists that ... Read More
The Jena 6 tragedy epitomizes American racism
By Saira KhanFor a nation that prides itself on its diversity it's rather pathetic and heartbreaking that tragic cases like the one of the Jena Six are still around today. I was first introduced to this story about two weeks ago by a friend of mine who sent me an invitation to join a group on Facebook. Upon reading the details of the incidents that led up to the arrest of six black students, I was absolutely horrified, how can people hate one another so much? I thought to myself.Jena, Louisiana is a small town with a predominantly white population. In September ... Read More
Politics and protest lost on modern youth
By Saira Khan
Do you ever feel that you were born too late? That perhaps you should have been born in a different era? Well, I do. I was born in a very boring era, the 1980s. I missed out on the 60s and 70s--the great music, the sexy rock stars, the fashion, the political movements, and the wonderful leaders and figures that could enchant an arena of people with their powerful words. People such as John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X were known to be great orators with very commanding presences. I envy our elders who were able ... Read More
Ahmadinejad at Columbia, poise and tact
By Saira Khan
Though it embarrasses me when President Bush says or does something stupid; (most recently, fumbling up and referring to Australian troops as Austrian troops) by comparison, the embarrassment that I feel, and have felt constantly for six years now, due of the ignorance of the fanatic Muslims that are out to destroy the world is far greater than the former. People such as Osama Bin Laden, his many supporters, and the Muslims wreaking havoc in Sudan have tainted Islam in the eyes of the world. After the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, spoke at Columbia University last week, my humiliation ... Read More
Getting old just a matter of perspective
By Saira Khan
I'm a birthday person; I absolutely love them, and not just mine, but everyone's. I love making cards and putting together nice birthday presents (if my bank account allows it). It's just the getting older part that bothers me. In an ideal world we would have our annual birthday without getting older (after a certain age of choice, that is; perhaps 18?) Last week I turned 21, and for months before people kept telling me that I should enjoy it, because apparently it all goes downhill from here. And if you think about it, for four years preceding our 21st ... Read More
In all cases, the death penalty is inherently flawed
By Saira KhanIn 2004 in Kansas City, MO, Lisa Montgomery, 36, strangled Bobbi Jo Stinnett, 23, who was eight months pregnant and then proceeded to cut out the premature infant from her womb; she was found guilty of kidnapping and murder. Now, the main issue lies in one question: should she be given the death penalty? The jury happens to believe so, because late last week, after deliberating for five hours, Lisa Montgomery was sentenced to death. Of course, the story doesn't end here. There will be appeals, and then some more appeals, and thousands of dollars will be spent in trying ... Read More
To hate in the name of God
By Saira Khan
My mother told me as a child that people aren't bad, they just do bad things. Unfortunately for her, I grew up and learned otherwise. Over the past few years we (and by "we" I mean you, the person next to you, and me) have seen the many faces of evil, and one of those faces (along with Osama bin Laden) belongs to Rev. Fred Phelps. Do not be fooled by the title that precedes his name. He represents none of the qualities that you would associate with a reverend; the man is neither honest, noble, nor holy. If you've ... Read More
Musharraf: Not as bad as the West thinks
By Saira Khan
At the risk of being verbally assaulted by a group of Pakistanis, I would like to say that I am still, regardless of recent happenings in Pakistan, very pro-Pervez Musharraf. In a rather surprising move, acting as the Chief of Army Staff, Musharraf declared a State of Emergency in Pakistan on Saturday, November 3. He temporarily suspended all independent news channels, and international calls were also blocked from landlines, however cellular phones were still in effect. The President cited the growing militant attacks in Pakistan and interference by the judiciary in government policy as the reasons behind his actions. ... Read More
Columbus's slaughter of Native Americans not worth celebrating
By Saira KhanThere are some people who do not deserve to be celebrated regardless of their accomplishments. For example, Adolf Hitler is not a man whose actions we celebrate. He helped Germany recover from the turmoil it was in following World War I and was almost successful in taking over all of Europe, but most people do not applaud him for this because his heinous crimes against humanity overshadow them. The same goes for King Leopold of Belgium. So why is it that we applaud and honor a man who was just as vicious and cruel to an entire race of people? ... Read More
Bhutto's assasination a tragic loss for the world
By Saira KhanIt was around 6:45 p.m. in Karachi on December 27, 2007 when I noticed that something was amiss. I had been sitting in a coffee shop for nearly five minutes waiting for my friends when I realized that my cell phone service was acting funny. "Your call cannot be completed due to heavy traffic" an annoying feminine voice would tell me any time I would attempt to call someone. I looked around and saw that most of the crowd had disappeared. Twenty minutes later I decided I had waited long enough and went back to my car. I was supposed ... Read More
Vertically challenged
By Saira KhanI don't know if you guys have noticed or not but 2008 seems to be shaping up as a pretty depressing year so far. It hasn't even been a month and we've already lost a celebrity (Heath Ledger died recently, for those of you who don't use the Internet, watch TV, read newspapers, or speak to people in general) and had a mall shooting resulting in five deaths. This scares me a little because I've actually been looking forward to 2008 for more reasons than one (two reasons to be specific). Over the summer my best friend is getting hitched ... Read More
Vertically Challenged
By Saira KhanLet me tell you a secret. I...cry. I really do. Sometimes during episodes of Grey's Anatomy or October Road, I cry. Heck, I've cried during Sex and the City and while reading Harry Potter. Does that make me a weak person? Hardly. Moved by people and emotions? Definitely. Dane Cook has it right: sometimes all you really need to do to feel better is cry. So why is it that when a presidential candidate sheds a tear or two all hell breaks lose? The person is painted as weak. As someone who cannot handle pressure and tough situations. One of ... Read More

By Saira KhanI am a huge Pearl Jam fan. Eddie Vedder has gotten me through many endless nights filled with sorrow and depression. So it is needless to say that any project he works on will be a project that interests me, which is precisely how I first got introduced to the film Into the Wild. Vedder, the lead singer for Pearl Jam, was hand-picked by director Sean Penn (yes, THAT Sean Penn) to do the soundtrack for the film (Michael Brooks was responsible for composing the movie's original music while Vedder did the songs) and that was more than enough to ...

By Saira KhanI am feeling quite excited right now. I don't know if you noticed or not but we've had quite an eventful few weeks. Let's see if I can cover all that I want within my word limit.So, first and foremost, elections were finally held in Pakistan on the 18th without, to my surprise, any major setbacks and with the Pakistan People's Party getting a majority of the votes, to no one's surprise. Contrary to popular belief, there was never really any doubt that they were going to win even before Benazir Bhutto's assassination (which is probably why the radicals wanted ... Read More
Vertically Challenged
By Saira KhanIt's a well established fact that there are certain words in the English language that are considered unacceptable in particular settings… and then there are the words that are completely intolerable. The debate over the usage "N" word has been going on for some years now. We seem to hear it more and more in mainstream media as artists incorporate it into their music and writing as a way of taking something negative and turning it into a positive. Unfortunately, I feel that such an ugly and powerful word that was created entirely out of hate can never be a ... Read More
Vertically Challenged
By Saira KhanMen like sex (OK, so do women, but that isn't the point). Most are also very willing to pay for it if they must. They've been doing so for centuries and centuries (prostitution is, after all, the oldest profession in the world) and will continue to do so regardless of their standing in society. People of all standings have admitted to paying for sex. One of the more recent stories involves the scandalous former governor of New York Eliot Spitzer, to the even more recent admission of guilt involving sex in exchange for money by the husband of Senator Debbie ...

ADF law suit against UMBC is frivolous and unfounded
By Saira Khan
Free speech is not a concrete concept. Guaranteed to us by the First Amendment, it's idea is a little more complex than it may seem and evolves with time. What kind of speech is free? What kind of speech is too free? Is offensive, hateful, and/or harmful speech free nonetheless? While the idea of free speech is a fantastic one (let me acknowledge that it is because of the First Amendment that I sit here and write this article), there are many people out there who take it a step too far. People such as Rev. Fred Phelps of the ... Read More

After years of eating the strange, sometimes highly questionable, dining hall food (which I have not ingested for almost a year now), the school administration announced last week that they did not renew Sodexho's contract. Instead, they contracted the Compass Group USA (Chartwells). As stated in a campus wide e-mail sent out by Eleanor Lewis, Chartwells will be the food provider for this campus from July 1, 2008 to July ... Read More

So long Sodexho, hello to Chartwells
By Saira KhanWith the new academic year upon us, we all have arrived back at school (and some of us for the first time) excited, anxious, happy and maybe even a little sad.Let me be the first to admit that I actually feel quite elated. Over the past three years this place has become less of an institution and more of a home for me. One of the most exciting things about coming back to campus was knowing that the dining fiend, Sodexho, would no longer be providing their greasy, bland and sometimes downright disgusting food. Last semester, the UMBC Administration, along ... Read More
Zardari will lead Pakistan in the wrong direction
By Saira Khan
It seems that with every passing moment, Pakistan's political situation becomes increasingly worse. This latest series of issues began prior to the Olympics when it was announced that the government would take action against Pervez Musharraf, for allegedly violating the Constitution of Pakistan, by impeaching him. Within a few days of this announcement Musharraf resigned from the presidency rather than face being humiliated by the ruling coalition.What made this incident so sad and heart breaking was that, despite some of the mistakes Musharraf made over the past year or so, he is the only man who actually has Pakistan's best ...

Taking a closer look at Che Guevara

Everything about Ernesto "Che" Guevara is legendary. His image is probably one of the most recognizable images today; his silhouette even more so. His face is plastered on dorm walls, hangs from key chains, and is even on the mugs that we use to drink our delicious Starbucks coffee out of. Recently, in a rescue mission conducted to free Senator Ingrid Betancourt of Colombia, six years after her kidnapping by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), two of her rescuers (of the Colombian Army) wore shirts baring the illustrious image of Che Guevara as they ventured into the ...

Can influential celebrities drive up youth voter turnout?

However, there was one ... Read More
Sarah Palin sets women's rights back
By Saira KhanI have never been a fan of John McCain and have come to expect radical ideas from him, but even I was surprised when he announced Sarah Palin as his running mate. The 44-year-old vice-presidential nominee is the first woman to be featured on the Republican ticket.Palin was elected onto the City Council of Wasilla, Alaska in 1992 and in 1995; she did not complete her second term on the council because in 1996 she became the Mayor of the Wasilla. During her first term as Mayor, Palin went on an intense firing spree by sacking, or requesting resumes and ... Read More
Censorship hurts fundamentals of American values
By Saira KhanWhen Frank Zappa belted out the phrase "Rock music is sex" he probably never thought that his four little insignificant words would be forever embedded into the minds of zealous American Christian warriors as the image of demonic Rock, and that, for decades to come, those very words would be used in a battle against music -- the battle of censorship.Censorship has been a major issue in this country for as long as we can remember. As a matter of fact, just last year I wrote an article about the censorship by AT&T of Peal Jam's performance at Lollapalooza. To ... Read More
National shield laws necessary to protect journalism
By Saira KhanFor years now, journalists all over the world have been fighting for laws to protect them from revealing their sources. Lawyers, doctors, and even certain religious officials have their clients, and profession, protected by legal confidentiality. This law, however, does not reach out to people of the media, including but not limited to, writers, journalists and video journalists. Over the past few decades, we've seen journalists prosecuted for withholding where they obtained their information from.Names such as Josh Wolf and Judith Miller have been forever embedded into journalism and media history as martyrs for a very important cause (though some ...

What does a McCain presidency mean for America?

Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, a McCain supporter or an Obama supporter, you should be out there voting. This election is a crucial one for not only all of America but the entire world. The outcome of the presidential election is going to dictate the next four-to-eight years of the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians scattered across the globe. However, what many people fail to realize is that more than anything, the changes that the government brings will affect us and our daily lives more than we think. Most of us, being young ...

Hillary Clinton was given the opportunity to run for the president of United States ... Read More
Why comparing the plight of oppressed groups is insulting
By Saira KhanOn the morning of Nov. 5, in the midst of my excitement and utter disbelief regarding Barack Obama's landslide win, the passing of the infamous Prop 8 was brought to my attention. Needless to say, it put a damper on my day. The passing of Prop 8, a proposition that banned gay marriage in California, brought with it much criticism, sadness, and frustration for people from all walks of life. When discussing the issue and the resentment that homosexuals feel regarding the proposition, I have heard the statement "gays are the new blacks" made numerous times and, I must say, ... Read More
Bush's "midnight" rules trample on the rights of women
By Saira KhanWhile former President George W. Bush may have completed his second term, it is important to note that up until his very last day in office he continued to put into effect measures meant to prevent and hinder women from receiving proper medical care and attention. One of the many "midnight rules" passed by the Bush Administration before exiting the oval office includes the Provider Conscience Rule. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services website, HSS Secretary Mike Leavitt states that, "this proposed regulation is about the legal right of a health care professional to practice according ...

By Saira KhanWhile the internet has many advantages and has made life easier for all of us in unimaginable ways, I must say that it brings with it one very big disadvantage it is an open forum for people to discuss ALL of their opinions, even the really bad ones. All one has to do is go to any youtube.com video and read the slew of comments accompanying it to understand how disturbed some people in this world are and the immensely flawed perceptions that they have. I cannot begin to fathom how people feel the way they do about strangers and ... Read More
Why ideology and finances make terrible bedfellows
By Saira KhanAside from reading about it in newspapers and seeing it on television, most college students probably have not felt the effects of the economic recession. We hear the tragic stories of people being laid off after decades of employment and feel terrible for the people who lost thousands of dollars because the company they had invested in went bankrupt. Luckily, most of us have not truly seen or felt the repercussions of such a drastic economic crisis. We are sheltered from it because of the college atmosphere and the fact that we are, indeed, still students. This, however, is not ... Read More
From mutt to millionaire-Slumdog Millionaire dazzles audiences
By Saira KhanSlumdog Millionaire was, as the Oscars a few weeks ago proved, a favorite amongst audiences this year. The films director, Danny Boyle, and crew walked away with eight Oscars and received great praise. For a film that was intended to be a straight to DVD release in the United States, that is not a bad deal. However, the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and Bollywood have overshadowed certain aspects of the film. Many people seem to believe that the movie is a fictional tale of two unlucky lovers who, ultimately, achieve the fairytale ending that Bollywood is notorious for. What ... Read More
Pirate porn pre-empted by puritanical legislators in the latest General Assembly
By Saira KhanBy now I am sure that most of you reading this article have heard about the pornography debate that has been going on at our sister school, College Park. I am also sure that those of you that hadn't seen the notorious film in question, Pirates II, have seen it by now and realize that it isn't really worth all the hype that it is receiving. So, why is there such a big hoopla being made out of such a nasty (and I don't mean that in a good way) film? I guess the only answer to that is that ... Read More
Social networking and a new age of protest for the restless masses
By Saira KhanFor those of you that don't know about this yet, apparently Twitter is the new internet phenomenon that's taking over the world. Just a few weeks ago I was asking myself, what is Twitter? So if you have no idea what I am talking about, do not feel bad, I was in the same boat as you not too long ago. Twitter, as the website proclaims, "is a free social messaging utility for staying connected in real-time." In other words, it is a social networking website that allows you to constantly keep others updated on your whereabouts, actions, and other ... Read More
Pakistan's future appears bleak without immediate intervention even at the cost of hurting its national ego
By Saira KhanThe other day a friend of mine called me a traitor because I told him that the only way that the situation in Pakistan could improve is through western intervention. He proceeded to get angry and tell me I had been in America for far too long and had lost my "Pakistani pride," as he put it. I can't say I was surprised by his reaction. It does, however, baffle me to see that even with the current situation in Pakistan, people still consider foreign intervention as a major blow to their national ego.Pakistan has been facing the "terrorist" threat ...
