I submit to you, that the human atrocities are pent up frustrations and unresolved issues…

Ramadan day 2 Richardson Mosque
Experiencing Ramadan
Please note that the Ramadan diary is written for our Muslim and non-Muslims friends alike, hence the language is un-typical. We will do our best to weave through references that our Christian, Hindu, Jewish and other friends can relate with. By the way, we have been talking (Radio) and writing about the essence of major festivities of all religions so we can understand each other. It…

HAPPY RAMADAN - What does God really want?
Welcome to Ramadan, this column is about the politics, traditions and the spirit of Ramadan.
Like a mother who wants her children to live well, like a teacher who wants his students to do well, and like a chef who wants his patrons to enjoy his food…. God wants every one of his creation to live in harmony and do well.

Glen Beck apologizes for comparing reformed Judaism to radical Islam. That is how much the man knows about Judaism, Islam or anything.
I am glad the Jewish groups took action; actually we all need to join hands…
