I found this military intrusion into civilian affairs and subsequent events worthy of note. Especially since this is the type of conference that I might have attended had I been in Austin at the time.
Yes, Alhamdulilah – today is a historic day for Muslims in America and the world. If you are in NYC today – you may want to attend a Jummah service led by Dr. Amina Wadud. Yes a sister! She will be leading prayers and men and women will be side by side. Congratulations on such a bold stand. May Allah offer the organizer and attendees courage and protection.
I got a traffic citation the other day that said exactly the same thing . . . wierd!
