Talk on One nation under God

Sunday, April 1, 2010 - I am blessed to have been a part of every religious group from Aztec to Zoroastrians and every one in between including the native tradition. I connect with every one of the humanity. I was at Rev. Jimmy Clark’s Church in Balch Springs, Texas to share the message of unity which is embedded in every religious tradition, our constitution, and in the wisdom of MLK and Native Americans.

If you can tune in with God, meaning if you can see the world from God’s view point. Regardless of how one messes or builds up his creation, he (she or it) loves them all.

There is a narration of Prophet Sulaiman, to whom God gave the responsibility to feed all of God’s creation for a day. Sulaiman did not like a sinner and withdrew the food from him; God stepped right back in and took that authority from Sulaiman – making a point that God Almighty is Rahman and Raheem and we have to be like him – too big and not petty.

The African American Churches are amazing to attend; they are full of life and enthusiasm and have been open to the message of Pluralism. I talk at four of the Churches in Dallas and looks like I will be doing more. The next place I am planning to speak is the Imani Temple in Washington DC right on constitution Avenue. Pastor Augustine Stallings runs this independent Catholic Church, he is an amazing speaker, and was excited with my address at Chicago Bible conference to 800 people.

There is devotion, there is a love for the creator and the creation in all acts of worship, whether one bows, kneels, prostrates or closes his or her eyes. It is beautiful.

oncerned by the divisiveness, he saw the need to bring Americans together and founded America Together Foundation committed to building a cohesive America, indeed it is in response to ACT America which is bent on pitching one American against the other. We will be holding series of educational programs, conferences and workshops to address the issues that divide us such as Civil Right, GLBT, Quraan, Abortion, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Racial Profiling and Stereotyping.

The Annual Unity Day USA is in its 7th year now, it is a purposeful event to bring Americans together, on this Unity Day, we the people of the United States of America of every faith, race, ethnicity, culture and background will gather to express our commitment to co-existence, unity, prosperity and wellbeing of our nation.

Thanksgiving Celebration is in its 15th year showcasing cultural diversity.

The 5th Annual Reflections on Holocaust and Genocides is to learn and to acknowledge and reflect upon the terrible things we have inflicted upon each other and commit to avert such tragedies. Through this event non-Jewish people have consciously learned about Holocaust for the first time, it was also for the first time that people of 14 faiths came together to join in to commemorate the Holocaust that commemorated within the Jewish Community for years. They are not alone anymore in their anguish, we are all in it together with them, and it is a Muslim initiative to effect a positive change.

The programs, seminars and workshops conducted by the Foundation for Pluralism have become a part of the America Together Foundation. While the Foundation for Pluralism continues championing the idea of co-existence through respecting and accepting the otherness of other, the commitment to nurturing the pluralistic ideals embedded in Islam through the World Muslim Congress continues.
