Ahmed H. Al-Rahim
There's an excellent essay by Ahmed H. Al-Rahim in today's Boston Globe: A new agenda for American Muslims. He heads the American Islamic Congress, and is a PhD candidate at Yale. Some excerpts:
"Those who call for the murder of Christians and Jews are attacking our friends and neighbors. American Muslims should not stand for it any longer. So we must become leading ambassadors to the Muslim world.
America has been a haven for Islam. American Muslims must tell the world about the remarkable freedoms and coexistence we enjoy here. Muslims must understand that ''Death to America'' is also an attack on millions of Muslims who are proud to call themselves American."
...
"We have rightly demanded the privileges of democracy. But with freedom comes responsibility, and now is the time for us to act."
