Assassinations, hostage-taking, beheadings - Islamist terror is currently dominating news events and shaping the perception of an entire religion. In Stockholm, Ashkan says “I am a Muslim. It's not the same as a terrorist. I trust you, do you trust me? Hug me." Passers-by stop, watch what happens, take pictures. There were no conflicts during the shoot, but there were many touched people who took Ashkan in their arms.

This experiment was also done in New York City and Toronto. Psychology student Mustafa Mawla was there for the project in Toronto. An unfamiliar experience for Mustafa: “I had to get used to it. I'm not a very sociable person, but rather an introvert. But by being blindfolded, I couldn't tell who was hugging me. I didn't know what skin color or religion the person was. For me it was just a moment when two souls came together. The creators receive a lot of positive feedback on YouTube, but also criticism. It even comes from Muslim ranks. For example, one user writes that Muslim men are prohibited 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 this has something to do with my ability to control my sexuality. I can also hug someone without thinking directly 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 press reporting 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'm aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I won't change it 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 is "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.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
