IS GOD GOOD?
A few of us address questions facing the world, every week in Dallas Morning News, through the message of Pluralism, I see the gains for Islam; mitigation of ill-will and nurturance of goodwill towards Islam, at least among the readers of Dallas Morning News and my friends from all faiths.

Holi (Hindu), Purim (Jewish), Novruz (Zoroastrian), Mahavir Jayanthi (Jainism), Baisakhi (Sikh), Ramnvami (Hindu – there are at least six in the last three weeks) and Easter is this week end, Insha Allah, I will write the essence of it.

I am pleased to join the Israeli-Palestinian confederation committee to participate and contribute towards the peace process for the people of Israel and Palestine.

TALK ON ONE NATION UNDER GOD
If you can tune in with God, meaning if you can see the world from God’s view point. Regardless of how one messes or builds up his creation, he (she or it) loves them all. Continued

ISRAEL PALESTINE PEACE
published at Huffington post in 3 installments and I am waiting for one more at New York Times. If we can find a solution to this issue, most of the conflicts wane, perhaps even the Iranian conflict. I am committed to peace.

YOUR SUPPORT
. . . . . .
We have postponed Sharia Symposium with Imam Zia Kavakci and Imam Zia Shaikh on the one side, and Pamela Geller and Davis Yerushalami and a very big surprise item… for lack of funds. It will bring a crucial change to the perceptions about Islam and strengthen the average American with information. I urge you to donate to something that will make our lives easier in the coming years.
