Nabeel Qureshi's Dichotomy
Christian apologist Nabeel Qureshi has recently shared a tragic update on his battle against stage 4 stomach cancer, asking for more prayers as he revealed that his latest radiation session failed.
In a YouTube video posted on May 4, Qureshi began his announcement by thanking his fans and friends for praying for him after he broke the news on his cancer diagnosis. The Muslim-turned-Christian evangelist shared that his primary tumor had shrunk but the latest radiation therapy did nothing to vanquish cancer cells from his lymph nodes, Christian Broadcasting Network relays.
“The results aren’t good,” Qureshi said in his latest vlog. “The radiation apparently didn’t work too well.”
In addition, Qureshi said the cancer had spread out to other lymph

    Fundamentalism is an absurdly broad term. The term can best be described as a movement that is opposed to the modernization or secularization of a nation, and desires a call back to a stricter and more religious way of life. In terms of the Middle East John Voll describes fundamentalism as the call back to the path of Islam (Voll 347). Saba Mahmood makes several strong arguments on why the term fundamentalist is often inaccurate in its usage. Her first argument is that the term fundamentalism categorizes many contrasting ideas as one. Another argument she presents is the hypocritical view that the West has on fundamentalism.…

    Does standing up for liberty simply mean to stand up just for those in this country? Are the rights in the Declaration of Independence only inherent to those in this country, or are they instead fundamental human rights wherever humanity exists? The rights of men to be treated equally should not be limited only to American citizens but to human beings everywhere striving to be free. Anyone serious about the movement of liberty has the responsibility to speak up for the voiceless and those who can’t speak for themselves.…

    Baba did not want chemotherapy. I think he was tired of life and just wanted to die. Chemotherapy would have made his life longer. Also, I think he was tired of all the lies, betrayals, awkwardness, and sadness in his life. I also believe that is why he started smoking-to relieve the pain. It would also allow him to die faster. In fact he had cancer due to his smoking addiction. (71 words).…

    One person that was killed by cancer was my father, Dr. Bakshi, MD. Seen as I had found out postmortem, I had done research on Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma to understand what he had. “Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), a malignancy that manifests in the lymphatic system, is one of the most commonly occurring hematologic disease types in the United States and other Westernized countries. NHL is divided into a range of subtypes with differing clinical features and outcomes.” (Long, 2007)He was in remission for fourteen years.

    In fact, our families are so close I call them my uncle and aunt. A few years ago Debbi was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent the treatment, and was declared cancer free. After a few years everything seemed fine, but then she started having trouble breathing and pain in her head. She went to her oncologist, and they confirmed she had cancer again. I remember when my parents found out, me, my mom, and my brother were eating dinner. The room was dead silent, and we all ate without saying a word, which never happens. It turned out she had a 9 centimeter tumor in her lung and a smaller tumor in her brain. The tests to see exactly what kind of cancer it was took a couple of days. The doctors were thinking it was probably just a common lung cancer that had metastasized, but there was a small chance that it could be a rarer, harder to treat cancer called neuroendocrine cancer. This means that the cancer started in her endocrine system which regulates hormones, and metastasized to her lungs and brain. The test results came back, and she had neuroendocrine cancer. She immediately started radiation and then chemotherapy. The radiation took a big toll on her body and she had to be hospitalized several times for malnutrition as well as pain. A few weeks…
