Religion Is Defined By The Relationship Between

In Malaysia, Where Western Culture Was Extremely Influential, I'd Grown Up Listening To Elvis And The Beatles And Watching American Movies. People Wanted To Be Like Americans. In Contrast, When I Got Here, I Saw Prosperous Middle-class American College Students Wanting To Somehow Join The Third World.

I Was Completely Surrounded By Religion From A Young Time. I Was Taught By My Father. I Engaged In Discussions With Him And Many Of These Scholars Who Visited And Came Around The Dining Table, The Lunch Table, And Attended Many Lectures With My Dad. And So I Learned The Apprentice Way.

God Says In The Quran That There Is Only One True Religion, God's Religion. It's The Same Theme That God Revealed To All Of The Prophets, Even Before Muhammad.

Our Enemy Is Not Islam. Islam Is Not The Enemy Of America; Americans Are Not The Enemy Of Islam. Our Real Enemy Is Extremism And Radicalism.

Koran Says Whoever Believes In God In The Last Day Shall Be Saved. It Is A Religion Whose Very Name, Islam, Comes From The Word Shalom, Which Means Peace. It's About Establishing Peace. We Greet Each Other With Peace Be Upon You, Which The Jews Do In Greeting Each Other.
