Sunday, July 10, 2011 Muslim Prayers in Canadian Public Schools (4 comments)
The best thing for the school is to untangle itself from any religious affiliation. When our interests become subservient to the interest of the society at large, no one will lose but gain. That's how we build civil societies. As the beneficiaries of this sacred value, we have to continue to guard against mixing church and the state.
Saturday, June 25, 2011 Sharia, not in America (4 comments)
The intent of the Sharia laws was to construct a complete justice system with fairness to all members of society. Peace and a sense of security are the products of justice in a given society. The violations of justice and the rule of law are found in every faith, culture and political system, to varying degrees. In this respect no community is free of blame and no one can cast the first stone against another community.
Friday, June 24, 2011 Bigotry of Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain and other Republicans (1 comments)
Bigotry of the Right wing Republicans surfaces when the elections are on the horizon, they fabricate an enemy that is not there and shamelessly dupe a few Americans. It is time to question their integrity and verify the veracity of their statements.
Friday, May 6, 2011 Muslims rejoice the end of an evil era. (1 comments)
Muslims sigh with relief, pray and celebrate, they were not only victims of Bin Laden's terrorism, but were also the subject of harassment by several governments around the world and in the Airports as well.
Wednesday, March 9, 2011 Muslims welcome congressional hearings by Peter King (6 comments)
We have to identify the criminals who are individually accountable for their actions, and we need to punish them expediently according to the law. As a civil society, we must also resist the temptation to blame their families, their nation or their religion.
Sunday, February 22, 2009 Obama the Macho Man (6 comments)
Obama is a fresh thinker, his approach is refreshing, and he is endowed with a re-fresh button. Unfortunately, he has shown this dumber than dumb streak in him to show off his macho manhood; killing and destruction. Obama is my hero, and those of us who admire him, have an obligation to point out his mis-steps that could cost us dearly in economic and moral terms.
Monday, January 19, 2009 Holocaust, Genocides and Muslim Initiatives
The Muslims have taken the lead in colloboration with Jews and other faith based communities to commemorate Holocaust and Genocides in Dallas
Monday, December 29, 2008 The Gaza Solutions (12 comments)
The world sympathized with Israel for the rockets they endured in their backyards, but when they get on the revenge bandwagon and indiscriminately kill, they lose sympathy. The oppressed ones all around the world including the majority of Israelis and Jews feel the pain of this massacre, it flies in the face of our continued efforts to stop massacres, it is time for all of us to speak up. This is not the act of peace making.
Sunday, October 12, 2008 Republicans, please put America first. (1 comments)
It is time for you, the good principled Republican senators, congressmen and women and all those committed to the principles of the party to wake up and rescue the party from being hijacked again by those who want power devoid of republicanism.
Saturday, September 20, 2008 The Spirit, rituals and politics of Ramadan (4 comments)
The Spiritual masters have captured the human gravity for rituals and have molded it with the art and science of self-discipline in their respective religion. The noble purpose of each one of them was to bring a balance in our lives and a balance with things that surround us; life and environment. Every faith is composed of a set of unique rituals to bring discipline and peace to human life. Fasting is one of the five rituals
Monday, May 26, 2008 The Final Journey of Najma Ghouse (1 comments)
Najma had prepared herself for this journey, she had jettisoned the anxiety, and cleared her mind from desiring to do a few more things or touch a few more lives. She accepted her role in the world and was content with what she had done. She was grateful to the creator for enriching her with a full spectrum of life experiences from serene bliss to utter sadness, loneliness to being loved, bad times to good times and fun times
Tuesday, May 20, 2008 With Friends like Bush, Israel doesn't need enemies. (1 comments)
The Neocon gang talks peace, but doesn't mean it. Their plans have failed badly, and they still don't get it. They are no good for Israel, Palestine or America, their actions and words are the root cause of terror and turmoil in the world. The more they talk about terrorizing the little nations, the more dangerous they make it for Israel. With Friends like Bush, Israel doesn't need enemies.
Wednesday, May 7, 2008 With friends like Clinton, Israelis don't need enemies. (1 comments)
With friends like Clinton, Jews don't need enemies. Her words fuel the anti-Semitic repressed sentiments among average Americans and certainly evoke anger in the Middle East; where as McCain fuels Islamophobia. Do we need these two to run our nation down? Absolutely not!

With friends like Clinton, Jews don't need enemies. Her words fuel the anti-Semitic repressed sentiments among average Americans and certainly evoke anger in the Middle East; where as McCain's Islamophobic attitude fuels terrorist outfits like Al-Qaeda. Do we need these two to run our nation down?
Monday, May 5, 2008 Could weTrust the American Media? (5 comments)
Could the Iraq war have been prevented had the American media asked the right questions? How do conservative media commentators frame the actions of different religious communities? Does the media pay due attention to history? Mike Ghouse reflects on the political impact of mainstream media decisions.
Tuesday, April 29, 2008 Ahmadiyya Muslims, what next?
The real issue is not about who is a Muslim, but it is about how the majorities treat their minorities.
Should the bad decisions of a few in the name of Islam, reflect on the Muslim community at large? Now, Indonesia is planning to ban the "heretical" Muslim sect, should that reflect on Islam? The least we can do is to speak up against the tyranny of one group of people against the other.
Monday, March 10, 2008 Yes we can bring peace to Gaza (2 comments)
Israel owes peace and security to her citizens and it is directly dependent on the security and peace needs of the Palestinians. You cannot live in peace, when your neighbor's aren't. Finding a balance is the most difficult thing to do and both the nations are trying and failing. No wonder the phrase "love thy neighbor" plays such a crucial role in every society.
Monday, March 3, 2008 Obama the Shepherd (28 comments)
Thank God for Obama, he mirrors the dreams of millions of Americans and is our new shepherd on the political spectrum. He will lead us to a safe, secure, strong, and respectable and a healthy America.
Friday, December 28, 2007 Hope for Pakistan (3 comments)
She threatened the extremists, a dare move perhaps calculated to win the support of majority of moderates in Pakistan who want to live a normal life. They got to her before she could get them. Pakistan is ripe for democracy; a majority of her people believes in it. We cannot ambush terrorism with bombs; we can certainly dissolve it through dialogue, education and patience. We need a whole new generation into thinking
Thursday, December 27, 2007 Religious Violence in Orissa, India
Eleven Churches have been razed to ground following a reported attack on Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, a political party leader. Shamefully this is a normal thing in India and it needs to be stopped before it escalates.
