Muhammad Yunus

Muhammad Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Winner, has helped provide very small loans to millions of villagers in rural Bangladesh, enabling poor women to lift their families out of extreme poverty. This video sample from "The Ultimate Resource: Pennies A Day" highlights this inspiring story of how microcredit has become a worldwide phenomenon. The full video is available at www.izzit.org and U.S. teachers in grades 6-12 can apply to receive a DVD of this program for free!

He is a Bengali professor who in the age old tradition from the days of the Bengali renaissance and before kept his religion out of his politics. Atheism out dates Christianity and Islam in Bangladesh as well as scholarly pursuits. I despise people who simply label someone as something which may have had little to do with his contribution to humanity. Bengalis are not arabs. We fought against oppression in a revolution for freedom and you come with your pre conceived notions of us. For shame.

I meant what I said. I see it as a hopeful. A breath of fresh air from what other Muslims have been presenting.

[bodmondude]

is that a serious statement?, i cant tell if its sarcasm cause if it isnt, you really need to go outside.

[MohamedY1]

whether or not hes muslim is beside the point. microcredit is used worldwide in over 100 countries, its business with an EQUALLY social objective. Eliminate poverty. what have you done, just insulting religions through youtube?

[Nallanyesmar]
