Selfies - taking pictures of self.

There was a time when we resented those who made a point to get into every picture. Selfie was considered narcissistic, and we even looked down upon them and said, Pathetic.

Well all that has changed.

We are getting out of the shell and are comfortable taking our own pictures, nothing to be bashful about it.

Indeed, the political leaders were supposed to be serious in pictures, look at some of the pictures, they have come out of the self-censor and have opened up.

Selfie -President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron pose for
a picture with Denmark’s Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt next to Michelle Obama. Getty Images. I could not resist saying boys are boys...
momentarily the guys forgot what's going on around them...
I feel sorry for Michelle, but on the other hand girls are girls too.

Selfie -PM Modi tweets the pic with PM Li 5.15.15 - Modi ain't bashful at all, I have seen the pictures where he pulls out his smart phone... and all in a sudden every one giggles. Do you think the Chinese PM would have smiled like this? Modi made him smile.

Selfie - I watched that live when Ellen DeGeneres gathered every one, just like we do in our parties, call on every one with 2 legs passing by... here are Meryl Streep, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Lupita Nyong’o and Brad Pitt, received more than 921,000 retweets in less than 40 mts.

Here are our family selfies...

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.
