The #IAmMuslimAndI Social Media Campaign aims to promote #Muslims as everyday people doing everyday things to show that Muslims are regular human beings and not a group to be feared or hated. #Islam teaches #peace #tolerance and #love. Anyone who goes against these fundamentals cannot be classed as following the teachings of Islam. Within recent years, #Islamophobia has increased in spades. It is sad that the actions of a minority group who CLAIM to be Muslims are taken as a representation of Muslims as a whole. The violent actions of some are definitely #NotInMyName and cannot ever represent what Islam teaches. God says that if a human being kills or harms another human being, it is as though he has killed or harmed all of humanity. This is the depth of the rejection of violence in Islam. The #IAmMuslimAndI Social Media Campaign was started by Radeyah H. Ali in an attempt to educate #Islamophobes on the true meaning of Islam by showing them that Muslims are norma...

RRSMS Instagram 1. What do you think is the best thing about running Instagram? Keleigh:  My favorite part running the Instagram is getting to post content and share content that other authors, writers and creators can relate to. Sarah:  The best part about co-running the RRSMS Instagram account is making friends and connections with authors, bands, and avid readers. RRSMS is a community before an organization.  We value the sense of family.  2. Do you have any favorite or special interactions with follower(s)? Keleigh:  I love when people comment on a picture that I posted and say things like "That is so true!" or "I love this!". Sarah:  My favorite part about connecting with followers is when someone "fangirls" over commonly read books with me.  We become more than the Instagram handles we post by.  3. What do you think is the biggest challenge in running Instagram?  Keleigh: Having to block all the spam accou...

In light of the horrific events that occurred in Orlando, we are re-opening submissions for our LGBT anthology, I Am Loved. All stories and poetry that talk about love and acceptance within the community will be accepted. Please send all submissions to: rockandrollsavedmysoul2014@gmail.com With "I Am Loved" in the subject line.  Submissions are due no later than June 21st.  We are currently seeking a charity that helps LGBT victims of bullying and abuse. If you have any ideas, we'd love to hear them!  No one should have to live in fear. This kind of hatred against any other person shouldn't happen. Please keep those affected by this tragedy in your thoughts or prayers (whatever it is you do). If you're in the Orlando area and are able, please donate blood. So many are injured and blood donations are needed.

Tell our readers a little bit about yourself. We want to get to know you better! I'm an artist first and foremost, however I believe art can take many forms like painting, writing, music, drawing and more. I am also an animal person, especially with cats, I love all animals, but cats have saved my life multiple times. I guess those are good things to share about myself, I'm always open to questions though. ^^ What’s it been like volunteering for Rock & Roll Saved My Soul? What is your favorite thing about it? It's been awesome!!! I love the person I run tumblr with and I love Kate, she's always so understanding and patient. I also love that I get to help give back to the community. What made you want to join the Rock & Roll Saved My Soul team? My friend Sid said that the group needed some help on the social media side of things and I volunteered to help cause I'm pretty decent at social media, as well as I like the cause of RRSMS, so it was real...

In November 2009, Owl City’s Adam Young, a native and longtime resident of Owatonna, Minnesota (pop. 25,000), who had made his very first airplane journey only a year prior at age 22, found himself standing on the Great Wall of China. “I called my mom on my cell phone at 2 a.m. Minnesota time and said, ‘You’ll never believe where I am right now!’” Young recalls with a laugh. “I’m this shy kid from nowhere. My family didn’t have a lot of money to take vacations, so for me to have that kind of experience was surreal.” It was just one of many extraordinary moments this unassuming 24-year-old Midwesterner would have over the past 18 months thanks to the blockbuster success of Owl City’s major-label debut album — the lush, lovingly created Ocean Eyes, which was released by Universal Republic Records in July 2009. Filled with whimsical melodies and blissful beats that Young conjured up alone in the basement of his parents’ home in Owatonna, Ocean Eyes topped the Billboard Rock,...
