    Hey, Just wanted to say that as an American I am proud to see this journey of critical thinking and enlightenment taking place. I wish you continued success on your hourney and we would loooooove to interview you two for our old school hip hop show called The Rhythm Rewind. We always like to take time out for our audience to give them a little something different and it would be amazing to have you guys call in the show. Let us know is this is something possible. Please feel free to call the Live Mic Productions business line anytime 408-364-5073. Thank you for this journey that we can all take together.

    We seem to always have a problem with a culture we do not know. I am a Christian (Lutheran). I can’t say I am in favor of the masque in NYC where it is being built but our constitution gives the freedom of religon and it does not exclude any group as long as it isn’t a cult that breaks the laws of the nation. I have known several muslems and they were all nice people. May you enjoy your trip and return home safely. Peace be with you.

    Just read the piece on CNN. I remember when Americans of Middle Eastern decent were seen no differently where I grew up than maybe an American of Japanese decent. Just an American with a different background from mine. Too bad fear has changed everything for some.

    It sounds like this has gone better than I would have thought. Often fellow American whites are an embarassment. This weekend Muslims passed out short guides to their religion and showed how kind and friendly they can be at our Minnesota State Fair. I thought it was a wonderful idea. Unfortunately it was met with a more mixed recepetion than I would have hoped.

    Good Luck to you both

    I remember when you guys travelled around New York last year. It what such at great idea, this new venture is just brilliant! As a Muslim, espeically as a New Yorker, it so important and exciting for me hear about Muslims in other states, and what they deal with. And the way you share what you find is so plain, non-judgemental and descriptive, anyone can relate(in fact it was a non-Muslim co-worker who shared your blog with me). I hope you guys continue this tradition. Perhaps a video/movie next time:) Baraka Allah fikum and Ramadan Mubarik!

    I think its a good start. What I am confused about is that there are not more individuals of Muslim/Islam descent that are condemning the killings of their own people in other countries. The downing of the twin towers, the plane in PA and the attack on the Pentagon, and all the other anti=whatever around the world in the name of Islam. Is there a point when the Islam commnity says “enough is enough” and condemsn the radicals that are causing problems not only for non Islamics but Islamics too? They just gassed two children’s schools, they are blowing up coffee houses and markets. When does the Islam community of this world, not just the US, say “no more’the american country was for Freedom of Religion. I am Catholic, but have learned so much from other religions. MAybe tis time for the Muslims to do the same. Freedom of religion,speech…without violence. We did it before, we can do it again. God Bless

    Check out this video on YouTube:

    It is an insightful and well researched piece put together by a devout Muslim. It has four parts and you truly owe it to yourself to watch them all.

    Hey Amam and Bassam – I couldn’t figure out a way to better contact you so I’m trying this. I’m actually helping with research on a project for a PBS series on Arab-Americans which will try to paint a picture of the diversity of their experiences in this country. I was hoping I could talk with you both more in depth about your experience and what kinds of people and places you came across.

    I would really appreciate it if you could email me a good way to get a hold of you so I can talk to you more about this project.

    Thank you!
