I like Dr. Mazrui’s writings quite a bit because he treats Islam as part of the African cultural landscape, rather than something foreign that can be separated out and potentially removed.

Happy New Year
Despite recent tragedies and fears, the New Year was well-spent, and hopefully it was for you as well. May the new year bring us greater knowledge of ourselves, of our faith, and allow us to be of greater service to our families, communities, and our faith.

We do not honor their lives by denying the very Constitutional rights they died protecting. We honor their lives by defending those rights – and the freedoms that the terrorists attacked.
