Fresh ideas...

Ok, so they might not be so fresh, but it's not the kind of stuff I come across very often these days, so I thought I might share.

I heard about this guy called Anas Zubedy today. He's what you might call (to use a recently popularized term) an 'agent of change'. He's all about promoting unity among races and religions ( the tagline on his site is 'many colors, one race'). These are the kind of people who I think should have a bigger platform in this country. He's obviously a well read man, and is confident in his opinions cause he can back them up, constantly quoting the Quran at each point.

I haven't read through all of his stuff yet, but do check him out and let me know what you think, maybe if I read him wrong... He also has a blog, where he does post a lot of other people's writings, but has a few good ones himself. Here's a little taste. :)

"Contrary to Quranic hidayah (guidance), Muslims today seem to not see Islam as a long lineage of religion starting from Adam and concluding with Prophet Muhammad. Muslims today equate Islamic history with the advent of Prophet Muhammad thus making Islamic history almost synonymous with the history of the Arab people - negating all other spiritual traditions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, etc as emanating from the same Creator."

Have a good day folks... Love and peace to all
