Peacemaking in the Mideast: Obama's Year of Missteps

Peacemaking in the Mideast: Obama’s Year of Missteps

January 5, 2010  |  Worth Reading  |  No Comments

It has taken President Obama just 10 months to achieve something each of his immediate predecessors delivered in their final year in office: failure in the Middle East peace process. Riding a wave of optimism in January, the President on his second day in office named retired Senator George Mitchell as his Middle East special envoy, tasked with kick-starting the dormant negotiations over a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Despite his best intentions, Mitchell’s — and Obama’s — efforts have managed only to undermine peace advocates on all sides and have pushed hopes for a final agreement into the distant future. The President now faces tough choices over how to proceed.(See pictures of Israeli soldiers sweeping into Gaza.)

Obama distinguished himself from his predecessors by attacking the problem early; Bill Clinton and George W. Bush waited until their lame-duck years to do so.

Reviving the Islamic Spirit convention- First impressions

First impressions Round up

If you were at RIS on Friday you would have notice the crowd was bigger than last year. It was Estimated that 17,000 people were there.  The hall was soo packed that there were people standing all the way at the back.

Two things RIS needs to improve on: better crowd control and more food vendors. There is only one major exit and entrance for the major hall. So it takes about 10 mins to get out;  the bazzar has bigger entrance and exitwith no wait time . With 17,000 people you would think  they would have alot more food vendors; but they don’t. With the few vendors they do have the line ups are between 15 and 20 mins wait.

With all that said this is still the best convention to go to in North America

Muslim Prayers and Renewal Near Ground Zero

December 10, 2009  |  Worth Reading  |  No Comments

A five-story building at 45 Park Place, two blocks north of the World Trade Center site, now houses a Muslim prayer space. Burlington Coat Factory operated a store there until Sept. 11, 2001, but it had been vacant since then, until a group of Muslims bought it in July.

“Built in 1923, the building at 45 Park Place was bought by Sy Syms, the discount retailer, and a partner, Irving Pomerantz, in 1968, and became one of the early Syms stores. The store closed in 1990, the partners parted ways, and the Pomerantz family then leased the building to the Burlington Coat Factory.
On Sept. 11, the store, with 80 employees, was one of 250 Burlington outlets nationwide owned by the Milstein family. That morning, recalled Stephen Milstein, the company’s former general manager and vice president, the staff was in the basement when a piece of a plane plunged through the roof, either from American Airlines Flight 11 crashing into the north tower at 8:46 a.m., or United Airlines Flight 175 crashing into the south tower at 9:03.”

Mosque One

Mosqueone.com is the first-ever oral history project of Muslims in Canada. It is a window into Toronto’s first mosque, which was an old shop, purchased in 1961, at 3047 Dundas Street West. Oral history is a way of putting people’s own memories and perspectives on the record, unmediated by outside observers.

The Dundas St. mosque touched the lives of many new Muslim immigrants to Toronto. Mosqueone.com captures the stories of eight of its pioneers. Their stories are a powerful corrective to the prevalent image of Muslims as newcomers unable to adjust to the norms and values of Canada. Snippets of their perspectives can be viewed here in edited video clips, with full transcripts available for those who want more depth.

Abdul-Jabbar has rare form of leukemia

November 10, 2009  |  Worth Reading  |  No Comments

We should all make a dua for him, He was one of the best (Muslim) basketball players of all time.

NEW YORK — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is being treated for a rare form of leukemia, and the basketball great said his prognosis is encouraging.

” I’ve never been a person to share my private life. But I can help save lives. It’s incumbent on someone like me to talk about this.” — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer was diagnosed last December with chronic myeloid leukemia, he told The Associated Press on Monday.

The 62-year-old Abdul-Jabbar said his doctor didn’t give any guarantees, but informed him: “You have a very good chance to live your life out and not have to make any drastic changes to your lifestyle.”

Abdul-Jabbar is taking an oral medication for the disease. He is a paid spokesman for the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis, which makes a drug that treats the illness.

Citing the way Los Angeles Lakers teammate Magic Johnson brought awareness to HIV, Abdul-Jabbar said he wants to do the same for his form of blood cancer, which can be fatal if left untreated.

“I’ve never been a person to share my private life. But I can help save lives,” he said at a midtown Manhattan conference room. “It’s incumbent on someone like me to talk about this.”

Abdul-Jabbar became concerned last year after feeling odd sensations. He went for tests at UCLA, where he dominated college basketball in the late 1960s, winning three straight NCAA championships from 1967-69.
