This is a quick report:
Dear Sister Reshma:
Assalamo Allaikum Wa Rahmatullah!
May Allah bless you for hosting the conference call on a very, very important issue. I am glad you had GAZA in your mind when you sent the invitation.
I was in my car and cell phone died for want of power.
But I will touch base with soonest.
What about a Palestinian’s Right
Here’s an article on the subject which also got posted on The Muslim New.Org to which I am an associated well read by over 10,000 subsribers. Many times I have posted CAIR, ICNA efforts worth sharing with our readership around the world.
Will talk soon. All the best.
Dr. Koya
Despite a good list of members, only 3 of us took part. At the outset I said Middle East a very wide subject, we must place our focus ob GAZA the live issue today. On social media, I shared my own experience and posts and reactions of readers one by a Jewish friend who took a swipe at me on my stand against Benjamin Netanyahu.
Bay Area Muslims
It is anticipated that sister Reshma and her NCIC team (to which I have been invited many times) will host meaning events to engage Muslim aware, dialogue and action.
Wassalam!

The press coordinator and conference call host of Northern California Islamic Council, sister Reshma Inmdar wrote back last night to thank for my participation.
The current GAZA SLAUGHTER by Israel backdates to the creation of Palestine. The conflict (instead of being settled at the very ) has been a source of political fame and dialogue at big round tables and the much controlled year of the past.
The email/social media and the lightening speed of digital video/photography that can be instantly uploaded by the most ordinary people with their cellphones and shared around world -have changed the the print media and TV Prime time news.
WAR is not the answer to the conflict – that’s clear from the heavenly warnings issued by the Promised Messiah.
If am not mistaken, Khalifa Rabe (Rahmatullah Alley)warned that if peaceful means are not adopted, Palestinians will suffer the most. It is quite visible how those prophetic words been fulfilling since that time. We also noticed – the most daring Muslim Imam of the time-gave up on the issue and till his death we did not see him revisit the issue at length.
On the release of Gulf Crisis – when I freelanced for INDIA WEST – I hosted first ever “PLIGHT OF PALESTINE” seminar at CHANDNI RESTAURANT. My guest speakers included a Jewish Professor of Stanford University and a group of his Middle Eastern and Dr. Hatim Bazian then a budding professor at the UC Berkeley. Dr. Bazian ) a Palestinian Muslim)attended my second seminar on Islamic Peace Program hosted by INTERFAITH AMERICA led by me right to close to U C Berkeley.
Over the years -Dr. Bazian and I have met and chatted on a number of public events-he has shot to
immense popularity as a Muslim public speaker on Middle East. I am counting on hosting my first GAZA FORUM soon.
