I’m so happy about his endorsement of Obama. But more emotional for me is the fact that he is the first public figure of authority I know who has called out the fear and hatred being thrown at Muslim Americans  and given visibility to even one moment of genuine Muslim American experience.  
That moved me to tears. I see the history of my Jewish family before me and my own gay experience in this familiar tactic of blaming while not really knowing someone imagined as “other.” For America to remain America it must include, as the entire world does, those who are Muslim.

    I think what you posted was actually very reasonable. However, what about this?
    what if you wrote a catchier post title? I am not saying your content is not solid, however
    suppose you added a title to maybe get people’s attention? I mean Colin Powell made me ferklempt – subvert is
    a little plain. You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch
    how they write news titles to get people to open the links.
    You might add a video or a related pic or two to get readers
    interested about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad
    and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be
    a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
