Since We Are Starting Fresh...

I thought since we are starting fresh on this blog, that I would start with a POSITIVE quote by our President Barack Obama during his inauguration speech. President Obama truly showed the true colors of United States. He acknowledged the three monthesim religions and other major ones.

"We know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.

We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus – and nonbelievers.”

Barack Obama

Let's Be Clear

Yesterday, I had read on CNN and Aljazeera that a chain-email was circulated by a couple of volunteers working on the Hillary Clinton's campaign. However those volunteers were forced to resign from
the campaign.

This email was a rumor about Barack Obama being a Muslim and wanting to destroy the U.S. once he gets elected.

I just groaned when I read the articles because now being a Muslims is an insult. At least that is what I get from making inferences after reading the articles and that ridiculous email.

Well, I am going to state a few brief facts about Muslims in America. Muslims:

• Are men, women and children from diverse countries including Americans. Majority of Muslims are not of Arab descent.
• Advocate education, often sending their children to college.
• Volunteer through organizations, charities, or as individuals.
• Believe in one God.
