The Major and the Imam(s) for Haiti
October 15th · 1 Comment · Haiti, Islam, Muslim, New Africa of the Palm Beaches
A reprise of my piece published in the Muslim Journal Sept. 24 seems apropos in light of Maj. Joseph Bernadel’s talk upcoming Sunday: The January 12, 2010 earthquake near Port-au-Prince, Haiti devastated an already impoverished, exploited and neglected nation. In making sense of incomprehensible loss, many people, once again exhibiting the indomitable Haitian spirit, took [...]

Ted Widmer: The True History of the Koran in America
October 13th · No Comments · Islam, Muslim, Quran
“As usual, the Founders were way ahead of us. They thought hard about how to build a country of many different faiths. And to advance that vision to the fullest, they read the Koran, and studied Islam with a calm intelligence that today’s over-hyped Americans can only begin to imagine. They knew something that we [...]

Speaking at Palm Beach State College on ‘Muslims in the Media,’ the outstanding students made it a great day
October 6th · 8 Comments · Islam, Media, Muslim
Once again it was the kids — this time Palm Beach State College students — who reminded me why I’m hopelessly optimistic about the possibilities for humanity. For example I so appreciated the young man who, as we approached the two-hour point in the scheduled hour-and- a half program, stood in the question-and-answer line to [...]

Kristof’s atonement to Muslims accepted? Obligatory.
September 19th · No Comments · Iraq, Islam, Media, Muslim
I agreed with Michael Moore (over at HanifOnMedia.com) regarding the serious culpability of Nicholas Kristof (and a ton of other folks, including many of you, dear readers) in our shameful pre-emptive invasion of a sovereign nation that had nothing to do with 9/11. Moore: We invaded Iraq because most Americans — including good liberals like Al [...]

… the other day, before leaving The Mosque Cares 2010 Annual Muslim Convention & Ramadan Session at the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset NJ. And like passersby and other New Yorkers with whom we spoke, we wondered again why all the hate from folks as far afield as the candidate who’s not running for [...]

November 5th · No Comments · Interfaith, Islam, Muslim, New Africa of the Palm Beaches
My friend Raymond M. shared this the other day — another example of the clueless, Faux News poppycock that U. of Mich. Professor Juan Cole regularly dissects at his Informed Comment site (reason I regularly refer sincere, thinking people there). I generally consider Internet hate-mongering a cry for help from otherwise decent people who (like Juan Williams, perhaps?) are fighting [...]
