Salam aleikum. “Back at the Crib” is my newest short story for your consumption. In 2028, much of America has lost its war on Islam, and the Mujahidden of the Americas, or MA, has control over its southeast. Though not oppressing the Christian populations, the MA wants to arrest some blasphemers to send a message to the enemies of Islam within its jurisdiction. Mikail Harris already fled the chaos from before the MA and is comfortable among the Muslims in Eastern Jamaica. Then Max calls him back to Mobile to help make arrests of anyone he knows to have insulted Allah or insulted Muhammad in the past. Reluctant as Mikail is, he turns out to take it more seriously than even the authorities for whom he is working. Does he kill the blasphemer who he learns also killed his relatives, or let others handle that for him to ensure impartiality?

The theme is the same as that of the others, a revert/convert returning ‘home’ to confront something, but this is for a reason. The next one will be of a different theme, insha’Allah.
