Muslims with Rick Perry

PERRY IS THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO HAVE MUSLIMS ON HIS SIDE

Abstracts from the article submitted for publication, and it is pending.

This is the first time in American history that an American Presidential candidate, had Muslims with him on the stage during his announcement bid to run for the President in 2016. Remember, it has never happened before.

Stage was set in front of Perry's Plane - Amir and Arman Rupani were on stage

I don’t know how many Presidential candidates we have to forgive for ‘they know not’ about fellow Americans. But I do know that in the last run Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachman showed their bigotry when they said, they will not hire a Muslim in their administration.
Among the 2016 candidates, I know four will pass the initial test; Hilary Clinton, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and Rick Perry. Both Hillary and Perry have Muslims with them on their side. This is a new equation we have to deal with.

As an American committed to a building a cohesive America; it was a joy to see at least two Muslims right on the stage with Perry during his announcement.

What a joy it was to run into Hannity. More about it in the full article

After the event with the Rupanis.

Sean Hannity asked me, if I was supporting Perry, I said, not yet, not until I talk to him about what kind of America he envisions, is he committed to a cohesive America? Sean asked me what I mean by it. – I said, it is an America where every American is respected for who he or she is, and no American has to live in apprehension or fear of the other. Sean said, Perry said that. I have to check his speech. Sean came out of his interview stage to say hello to me and had to run back.

Please note I am an independent and not affiliated with any party. You will see me writing and talking about the candidates.

Full Report will be out in a day.

OUR MISSION

No American has to live in anxieties, discomfort or fear of the other.

America together, Americans Together is an educational and pragmatic initiative to wean out myths from reality that is hurting the social cohesiveness of America. The myths are vigorously pumped in by a few insecure souls from among the right wingers to disrupt delicate balance in the society by pitching one American against the other for their perceived gains.

The purpose of this “America Together” is to remove such myths in an open discussion forum and restore the cohesiveness of our society and work towards building a safe and secure America.

As a society, it is our responsibility to keep law and order and faithfully guard the safety of every citizen. Hate is one of the many sources of disrupting the peace in a society and it is our duty to track down the source of such hate and work on mitigating it.

Since our independence in 1776, we have been tested time and again by various political, economic and religious forces to divide us, however, at the end we have come out strong as one nation. The Civil War, the Great Depression, the World War, Pearl Harbor, Women’s rights, Abortion, the Vietnam War, Civil Rights, Budget Deficits, Unemployment, 9/11, the Iraq and Afghanistan War have all been difficult, but we will make it through and sanity will prevail.

We have come a long way to embrace and accept the otherness of other and we have a whole lot more to go; in the coming months we will be holding meetings to understand the complexity of issues such as Gay & Lesbian acceptance, Quraanic Verses, Anti-Semitism, Stereotyping, Racial profiling and hope to find answers that will lead to accepting the otherness of other to co-exists in harmony despite our differences.

To the naysayers, we say, if we don’t do a thing about it, nothing good can be expected to happen.

The Foundation for Pluralism and the World Muslim Congress are taking the initiatives to mitigate conflicts and nurture goodwill in building cohesive societies for America and have planned on two conferences dealing with the issues; the first one is Qur’aan Conference and the next one is on understanding Homosexuality and the role of religion in it.

It is time now to replace the ill-will with goodwill; no American has to live in anxieties, discomfort or fear of the other. Our mission is to restore the cohesiveness of our society and work towards building a safe and secure America.
