Open Call for Submissions from Muslim Writers
Looks like the market is demanding it? Or it's a political manoeuvre in defiance. Most likely the latter and a bit of the former.

Other than commercial fiction I don't feel ready to write about my 'muslim' experience which I see it more of a passive aggressive experience than a 'muslim' one. My wounds haven't healed completely other than to blurt a silly something on here now and again for a vent, that's all.
And this from The Bookseller
The more books that are published in translation from authors in different parts of the world can help broaden everyone's horizons and that can only ever be a good thing!

I understand, I feel the same way. Still, it´s good to know that they are worried and trying to help.

The situation would seem untenable, assuming it is even legal. Shameful too, about those many others, law abiding people in the UK, like Ahmed Masoud who has the obverse problem, and can't visit his own mother in Gaza.
Wassail to all this good company.

It's amazing how balanced the world really is upon reflection - when it's tipped towards injustice, human nature does what it can to tip it back, even if they have to do drastic things like this kind initiative. x
I was thinking about this--maybe it would make for an interesting exercise in short stories about immigrants who are trying to become writers. There are several of us here, aren´t there?
That's a good idea. Yes - there's a book called the Good Immigrant that does this too.
oh, I didn´t know that. I must look into that.
Sounds interesting! I´d like that!
@Kitty and @Quillwitch, sounds good.
You'll have to pitch it to @KG Christopher, as he's doing the Flash Club prompt this month.

I hope though, writing in-house, no one here feels they need to make a point. (ADD feel the need to make a point in-house, via an in-house protest event, I mean.)

I have to wonder if Trump will, in fact, make America great again (though not in the way he wants to) by showing Americans exactly how much they value (and need to actively support) diversity. Nothing like a common enemy to bring people together...
