The
United States of America is one of the most diverse locations on Earth.
Here you'll find people from all walks of life, culture, faith, race and
tradition -- all co-existing together as one society. Like there are many
Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and followers of many other faith
traditions living in the U.S, there are also many Muslims as well.
In fact, according to the Council on
American Islamic Relations, there are approximately 7 million living in
America
Among them is Arsalan Iftikhar, an
American Muslim human rights lawyer, magazine columnist, and public diplomat,
trying to help bridge the divide between the Muslim world and the Western
world.
Besides this, Arsalan Iftikhar is also the
contributing editor for Islamica Magazine. Arsalan is talking about something
totally different – he is talking about Islamic pacifism. He says he is trying
to bring a new twist to pacifism, by using the power of logic as a tool for
persuasion and his admirers like to call him, one of the first official Muslim
pacifists.
