As an American Muslim, I congratulate President Obama on his re-election. Peaceful elections are a rare commodity in this era and should not be taken for granted. My prayers are with the president for his continuous success in which lies the success of the American nation.

I implore the president to adhere to justice in all affairs and also to continue to promote universal human rights. The key to world peace lies within justice and this is where I hope America continues to trend into the future.

Originally Published in The Huffington Post “As a Jew, I am offended to my core. Muslims have no right to invoke Moses and Abraham. This is a delegitimization of Judaism. It is offensive and vile. And while Jesus is not my guy, the same thing goes for him. It is a delegitimization of Christianity. These are not Muslim prophets.”   This typical quote from Pamela Geller perfectly...
