Starting with the testimony of the High Sheriff of L.A. County the other day, it is becoming apparent that a lot of information the Lamestream media WILL NOT COVER is making it's way to the population as never before. To anybody who has been watching instead of complaining, it is becoming abundantly clear that the Muslim community HAS, and IS, doing things to STOP the infiltration of radicals

Most of us have watched the events unfold over the last seven or eight weeks in the Middle East, beginning with the demonstrations in Egypt which focused most Americans in on the events and then leading to seven different countries and the protests there for “democracy”. It seems the beginning was in Tunisia, then moved to, briefly, Kuwait, Jordan, then to Egypt, Yemen, Algeria, Libya,

With all the changes occuring in the world around us, the time has come to begin a membership drive for The People of Abraham, Christians, Muslims and Jews.The group was begun in 2007 with the goal of bringing people together to discuss and form ways of accepting one another not as people of different beliefs who could not co-exist together, but as religious people who worshipped God

To the members; There is a controversy raging over the proposed community center a couple of blocks from "ground zero" in N.Y.C. As one of the co-founders of the group, I felt it incumbent upon me and Robert to investigate what, if any, reservations we should have in this matter. The answer in short is....none. Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf is a member of the Sufi sect of Islam, as any one who is

I am posting some great sources of good information not the usual garbage usually seen when you go looking for information on the Qu'ran and the Hadiths to accomapy it and the things you are searching for.As any one knows accurate information is vital to learning about Islam for every one who would learn about this faith system and the people who follow it around the world.Many come here to learn

I was asked a question recently and gave my answer as you can see. I was just looking at it and thought it might go some way toward explaining my position and beliefs regarding the interfaith work I do and why I have no problem accepting that others do not think or sometimes even believe as I do and why it is alright with me.....more than alraight as the short piece explains.

Several years ago I joined a group effort to bring forward the Clergy letter Project. This is an effort by many around the U.S. and the world to educate people that the conflict between religion and Science need not exist.Each has it’s place in the human drama and the two disciplines need not conflict with each other. In fact they can, in many instances, compliment each other in the human quest

It is at times like these that the work of The People of Abraham becomes the hardest, but the most necessary.I, like all of you, have been swept up in the concern for and the upheaval of, the recent attack on our soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas. When it was announced that the belief system of the person responsible for the shootings is Muslim, my heart broke.I am a Christian Pastor as most of you

This is a time for reflection on our mission as members of, The People of Abraham. We see from the news that a great conflagration is raging with increasing loss of life and displacement of peoples around the region of the Holy land. As The People of the Books, we owe our brothers and sisters who are caught up in this clash of arms, the offer of solace and support no matter who they are, or what

The following article appears at Robert Salaam's blog The American Muslim.

In a discussion of The People of Abraham I was asked this question." So, it's God, in the human conscience?" MY ANSWER.W.T.;Very close, very, very, close.Maybe though, it would be easier to think of it as the humanity of all of us.All normal humans have a conscience. Some have had it warped by their cultures, that is correct.But, aside from those, we have people who don't want to see their

All too often in life, the efforts of some people go un-noticed and unsung. I have determined that this shall not be one of them. The name I would introduce to you is that of William Coleman, a former pastor now retired from the United Methodist Church. Retired does not mean gone! and Bill is living proof of that. For many years he studied Islam and it's people, if I didn't once again mishear

Over a year ago a good friend of mine Rev. Bruce of Tawodi’s Hawk Nest and I came together to discuss what Muslims, Christians, and Jews can do together to bring about peace within and outside our communities. We were compelled to come together on those things we agree rather than the things we disagree. What we found out and which should be obvious, is that we agree on more things than we

I am with this post trying to clear up two great misconceptions between the world of Islam and Judaism and Christianity.The devide has existed for hundreds of years and with the presentation of the first accounts of Ismael in the Old Testament, or the Torah, you will see that this story is far older than the formation of Islam.And when Sara had seen the son of Hagar the Egyptian playing with
