Re: Challenges for Arab Muslims living in US
Dushwari
the fact that you even have to ask this question points to a big issue
"how many of us have 'real friends' from these other races? how many of these people take Muslims as good neighbors, close friends, respected colleagues and fellow citizens?"
I can safely say that I have "REAL" friends from different races and backgrounds. Some are old friendships going back all the wayback to undergrad days and the guys from the fraternity. Others are from b-school and others are from social and professional life.
Again, one has to take the initiative.
in the end I think you tripped over your own words, and this sentence is incorrect
- we need to set the table right, if you will, rather than turn it around, because co existence with mutual trust and respect won't come about if every one does their own part in insuring it with honest intentions*
