Some Old Business plus Church/State Separation.

Assalaamu Alaikum,

This week on the program we'll discuss briefly the relationship between the U.S. and Israel in an effort to follow up on a caller's comments two weeks ago. This isnot a topic I intend to dwell on but I think it's important for people to have the facts so here are two links: First an article by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt discussing the Israel Lobby. Next a piece by Rabbi Michael Lerner written over the summer in response to the Israeli war on Lebanon.

Then we'll talk about Church and State issues with what I hope will be a fresh perspective.

Keep listening.

Day off!

We won't be doing a show this week due to college basketball. Keep checking for updates on topics and guests.

Welcome!

Last week on the radio show I promised to set up a blog that would provide our listeners with an opportunity to find out more about our topics and guests and leave us feedback. I slao want to use this to post links to articles about our topics. This was all prompted by a call we got last week from an individuall who had a question about Surah 9:5 in the Qur'an. I know that this type of question will keep coming up so I'm linking to one of the best articles I could find about this particular subject, just click here to check it out.

God willing in the future I'll have more resources for you about various topics regarding Islam and the Muslim community here in America.

For now just keep listening and calling in.

Peace be with you and your families.
