A Muslim’s Christmas, Huffington Post

As a Muslim I will be celebrating Christmas, recommitting myself to listen to Jesus and follow his path. And in my Islamic tradition, I will reflect on chapter 19 of Quraan, dedicated to Maryam, Mother Mary, and pray on his birthday. I will pray that we all honor his message of creating peace and building cohesive societies where no one has to be apprehensive of the other. Amen!

Thanks to Dallas Morning News and Sean Hannity

We hope to create comprehensive leadership programs to produce public leaders who would be committed to work towards building a cohesive America and put America's interests ahead of their own.

Morality Brigade Fox watching the hen - Cain and Gingrich

Two new paradigms including the integrity test for the candidate is explored, that Media has completely missed out on this one. Cain is history, he had a chance for a graceful comeback, he blew it. The integrity test is embedded in our pledge of Allegiance and I seriously doubt if any one of the candidates will pass the test. Should we take a chance with Gingrich to betray another vow? Read on

Republican desperation for candidates

POLLS: GINGRICH & ROMNEY ACCEPTABLE GOP CANDIDATES

The integrity of Gingrich is questionable but the Republicans are desperate to have anything that speaks. That is a big compromise to the tea parties, it shows that tea party's influence is very limited despite the loud mouthing. Obama has a chance to make it, if he has the balls to push the Jobs bill and do the right thing for the nation, leave a legacy before he goes anyway, rather than go down in history as good for nothing president.
Sixty-two percent called Gingrich an "acceptable" GOP nominee, while 54 percent called Romney "acceptable." (Thirty-four percent called Gingrich unacceptable, and 41 percent said the same of Romney.) While those figures are higher than any of the other Republican presidential candidates, it's worth noting that less than two-thirds sees either man as an acceptable nominee.

Gingrich next exit, Romney has to contend with Paul

CAIN GONE, GINGRICH NEXT - ROMNEY AND PAUL NOW

The only candidate that is holding on to the principles of GOP is Ron Paul. He said “the loyalty to my country comes first and the party next” I wrote the same phrase in 2007 and again in 2008 asking the Republicans to put America first.

Now Gingrich will be made to acknowledge things that he did not volunteer, he was not faithful to his wife nor will he pass the standards he “talks” about as a hypocrite, and he will fail the integrity. My article will be out next week. As of now, if all things go well it would be between Romney and Paul unless someone surprises.

Cain should have gone gracefully; he would have earned the respect of the country, but he blew it, under the fake garb of conservatism he ran but ran out of steam. Palin, no way! It is time for the GOP to save some more embarrassment or let the process purge itself. Where is Perry? I am glad at least I remembered him; he is the Governor of my State.

Aung Saan Suu Kyi my hero

ONE OF MY HEROES: AUNG SAAN SUU KYI

When she was released from Jail, I felt welled up like I did when Nelson Mandela walked out of the Jail in south Africa. I am Glad Hilary clinton has approached her to build relationship. I salute Suu Kyi, an amazing woman, stood up for freedom! It is always a great feeling to know that God creates these powerful people every now and then when Hope is lost. I pray Israel-Palestine, Pakistan, Congo and other nations also give birth to the Suu Kyi's. Amen!

BBC calls it Burma instead of Myanmaar.
