Salam IFN community,

Do you understand how challenging it is for Ibtihal Aboussad, a Muslim, Arab, hijabi woman, to rise from a small town in Morocco to work for one of the worlds most prestigious companies, Microsoft, and attend one of the top universities, Harvard? And yet, despite all of this, she was willing to risk it all to stand by her principles. As Ibtihal herself stated, I dont want my computer code to be used to kill kids.

Its Ibtihal Aboussads courageous actionsnot Senator Cory Bookers performancethat truly embody the American ideal. Ibtihal was prepared to sacrifice her career, security, and comfort for the sake of her beliefs, and that is something to be celebrated.

During Microsofts 50th anniversary event, Aboussad disrupted the proceedings to protest the companys provision of AI services to the Israeli military.

Shame on you, Aboussad called out to Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsofts AI division. You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide. Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands. How dare you all celebrate when Microsoft is killing children. Shame on you all.

Join us this Sunday from 10:15-10:45 AM as we explore various rulings regarding silence and injustice in Islam.

Regards,

Azfar
