The Loser Brothers

College is a test of sorts for Muslim youth. A time and place where one’s beliefs and ideals are challenged and tested, but there those amongst us who not only hold steadfast to our beliefs but revel in them – these then are the lives and tales of the Loser Brothers, those that have held fast to a strict code.

In the first installation we present a Top 10 list...
You know you’re a loser brother when:

You’re siblings are cooler than you, including your baby brother who’s been in three more fights than you (you’ve never been in any fights).
You make obscure references to Islamic history that no one follows…save other loser brothers.
You’re favorite singer is that shared by your parents’ generation – Mohammad Rafi or Umm Khulthum.
You think “clubbing” is a great way to eat a sandwich. You've never eaten one.
While never, ever having been to a club you listen to “house” music, or what you call “chill” music.
You realize you’re a loser.
You have a lifetime subscription to Netflix.
You’re past time is largely composed of watching movies and playing video games.
When your video game CD died you preformed a jinaza for it
You do things with guys that most other guys would do with girls, like:
- Watching sunsets and sunrises
- Walks by the beach
- Going to Twin Peaks at night, or Treasure Island. [The view from there at night, which you've shared with other LBs.]

In the weeks and months to come you shall learn more of the Loser Brothers.
