Join the Brotherhood.
Thank you to all the brothers that welcomed me to the brotherhood. Thank you for showing me how amazing it is to be an Arabophile.
Honestly, who would you rather be?

Some suggestion to new converts, things to help you change from your old ways,
1) When looking at porn discard any porn that does not feature the Arab male. Regardless of what genders feature in the porn Arab male should be there
2) Delete your old streaming playlists, replace them with Arab music. Start to acclimatise yourself to it by wearing earbuds and have it playing as much as possible when at home regardless of the task you are doing. Allow it to become background music, allow its words to seep into your brain.
3) Learn a new Arab word daily. Let it become your language.
4) Find and connect with Arab men, be it as role models, mentors or something else, surround yourself with them.
5) Find a space in your home to dedicate to Arabization. Be it a corner with a prayer mat, or simply Arab imagery. Allow the culture to invade your home.
6) Invest in a piece of clothing that to you feels Arab. It does not need to be a Thobe. Whatever makes you feel Arab, choose that item and wear it as much as possible.
7) Find your personal connection to what it is that attracts you to Arabization and embrace that. It could be a preference for Arab men, it could be the desire to live a disciplined life. It could be to look or act a certain way. Whatever it is, realise it and life it in your life
Embrace the brotherhood. Embrace the future.
Embrace masculinity. Embrace strength. Embrace the Arab way.
هل تعرفون قصة "أثواب الانتفاضة"؟ شرعت نساء مخيم قلنديا وقرى الخليل، في صنع "أثواب الانتفاضة" خلال انتفاضة عام 1987، وفي الوقت الذي كان يصادر الاحتلال الأعلام الفلسطينية، ويمنع رفع أي رموز وطنية، بدأت النساء بتطريز العلم والخارطة وغيرها من الرموز على أثوابهن. وحين ارتدت النساء تلك الأثواب، جعلن من أجسادهن سبل مقاومة، فمن يستطيع انتزاع العلم في المظاهرات، لا يستطيع انتزاع الثوب عن أجساد من يرتدينه.
Do you know the story of the 'Intifada Dresses'? 'Intifada Dresses' began to be made by the Palestinian women of Qalandiya camp and the villages of Al-Khalil during the first Intifada in 1987. When Palestinian flags were confiscated in protests against the Israeli occupation, which prevented raising any national symbols, women began to embroider motifs of explicit nationalism onto their thobes. These dresses could not be taken from their bodies, and thus became powerful visual expressions of protest.
