Interfaith Respect has long been a goal of the Upper Peninsula EarthKeeper Team in northern Michigan. On June 4, 2009 President Barack Obama said in Cairo, Egypt that people from different religions should respect each others faiths: The richness of religious diversity must be upheld ... faith should bring us together.. In that spirit, the nonprofit Cedar Tree Institute in Marquette, MI begins a series of videos from a wide range of faiths. We start with three videos with Muslim Imam Hassan Qazwini; then three videos of Dr. Michael Grossman, a member of Jewish Temple Beth Sholom, Ishpeming, MI.
Imam Hassan Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America, spoke on Oct. 22, 2008 at the Lutheran Campus Ministry (LCM) Lothlórien House in Marquette, MI. Imam Qazwini talks about his life, the Iraq War and the treatment of women in Islam. (See links below to two previous videos: Imam Qazwini talks about respect for the environment and the few differences between the worlds major religions.)
Dr. Grossman joined faith leaders from other religions in a April 23, 2009 address to NMU students during the Sacred Planet series sponsored by the EarthKeeper NMU Student Team.
Interfaith Respect video series includes:
Dr. Rodney H. Clarken, chair of the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Bahais of Marquette
Head Priest Reverend Tesshin Paul Lehmberg of the Lake Superior Zendo, Soto Zen Buddhist temple, Marquette
Lutheran Bishop Thomas A. Skrenes of the Northern Great Lakes Synod for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Catholic EarthKeeper team member Kyra Fillmore, seedling distribution coordinator for the EarthKeeper Tree Project during May 2009:
United Church of Christ Rev. Dr. George Cairns of Chesterton IN co-founder of the nonprofit Turtle island Project, a research professor with the Chicago Theological Seminary.
The EarthKeeper Initiative is co-sponsored by the Cedar Tree Institute, Superior Watershed Partnership and 10 faith communities: Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, United Methodist Church, Unitarian Universalist, Baha'i, Jewish, Quakers, Zen Buddhist.
U.S. President Barack Obama interfaith quotes Cairo, Egypt June 4, 2009:
People in every country should be free to choose and live their faith based upon the persuasion of the mind, heart, and soul. The richness of religious diversity must be upheld whether it is for Maronites in Lebanon or the Copts in Egypt. And fault lines must be closed among Muslims as well, as the divisions between Sunni and Shia have led to tragic violence, particularly in Iraq. Indeed, faith should bring us together. That is why we are forging service projects in America that bring together Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
The EarthKeepers stand for the equal treatment of all/Presidents remarks about respect for womens rights: The sixth issue that I want to address is women's rights. I know there is debate about this issue. I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses to cover her hair is somehow less equal, but I do believe that a woman who is denied an education is denied equality. And it is no coincidence that countries where women are well-educated are far more likely to be prosperous. Now let me be clear: issues of women's equality are by no means simply an issue for Islam. In Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia, we have seen Muslim-majority countries elect a woman to lead. Meanwhile, the struggle for women's equality continues in many aspects of American life, and in countries around the world. Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity men and women to reach their full potential.

I am sorry to hear that about your uncle. The horrors of the regime are sickening. If only one good thing comes out of the War in Iraq - it's that Saddam Hussein and his thug sons were executed/killed by troops. May they burn in the fires of you know where.
when they army kill, do they kill because they follow jesus words? or their government? there is different, but when muslims cut the head they use mohamad words mohamad didnt just ask to kill and control and force others, but he did it to his own people, if they leave islam they will be killed and also he married many

So yes extremists come in every religion, you are just not educated enough to see it. Your poor command of the English language shows it
