Hello from London's Arab district. . .

Susanne has lived in Europe for 18 years and their flat is in Central London near Edgeware Road, the Arab district. We arrived here one week ago. One block away are Egyptian bookstores, halal restaurants (like Kosher for the Jewish), Lebanese food, etc., etc. The Friday that Mubarak fell in Egypt, this extremely busy thoroughfare closed with people of many nations celebrating in the street for Democracy! My daughter's family experiences here in the heart of British Muslim culture and my experiences in reading the London Times and |Guardian demonstrate that the vast majority of Muslims here are peace loving and want to live in a freedom type of society. My son-in-law travels on business to Abu Dhabi and Qatar and he also finds the Muslim people overwhelmingly oppose terrorism.

Terrorists in the Muslim religion are the Timothy McVeighs of Christianity. McVeigh was a practicing Catholic as I understand. Which means absolutely nothing about Catholicism, does it?

PEACE . . . SHALOM. . .SALAAM
