Assassinations, hostage-taking, beheadings - Islamist terror is currently dominating the news and shaping the perception of an entire religion. In Stockholm Ashkan says "I am a Muslim. That's not the same as a terrorist. I trust you, do you trust me? Hug me." Passers-by stop, watch what is happening, take pictures. There were no conflicts during the shoot, but many touched people who hugged Ashkan.
Blind Muslim Trust Experiment - Stockholm
This experiment was also done in New York City and Toronto. In Toronto, the psychology student Mustafa Mawla was there for the project. An unusual experience for Mustafa: “I had to get used to it. I'm not a particularly sociable person, more of an introvert. But because I was blindfolded, I couldn't see who was hugging me. I didn't know what skin color or what religion the person had. For me it was just a moment when two souls connect with each other. The creators received a lot of positive feedback on YouTube, but also criticism. She even comes from Muslim ranks. One user, for example, writes that Muslim men are forbidden from hugging women. Mustafa Mawla does not consider such a very literal interpretation of the Koran to be appropriate: “They assume that a hug leads directly to sex. I think it has something to do with my ability to control my sexuality. I can hug someone without even thinking about sex."

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
