Something Positive About Muslims (and Jews)
A few months ago, I shared with you the speech given by the President of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) conference. In return, when URJ had their biennial this last week in San Diego, Ingrid Mattson, the President of ISNA, gave a speech. I thought the speech was worth sharing. I have heard Ingrid Mattson speak before and she is wonderful.
This exchange is a part of a larger dialogue project that is being launched. You can check it out at http://urj.org/muslimdialogue/.

What is wrong with today's Jews?
A perspective of a moderate Muslim.
When Muslims criticize Jews chances are it's Islamists. You rarely see moderate (an I do mean real moderate, not Islamists like CAIR who claim to be moderate) Muslims saying unflattering things about the Jews. So, normally, when I see the Jews do dumb things i.e., supporting an Islamist congressional candidate because of partisanship (American Jewish World's support for Keith Ellison) or providing utilities to a terrorist enclave (Gaza), I try to keep my mouth shut. For obvious reasons. But not this time.
I thought I've seen everything: Cuban missile crisis, fall of Berlin wall, 9/11. Until recently, I thought that the father of modern terrorism getting awarded a Nobel Peace Prize was the most peculiar event in my lifetime. But a recent, largely unnoticed event, could take the cake in peculiarity contest.
