Quran made me a Better Person,a Better Christian, a Better Clergywoman

That the Holy Qur’an was sent to benefit all mankind — not one particular religion or race — has been reaffirmed by an American priest who doesn’t mince words while admitting that reading the holy book has made her “a better person, a better Christian and a better clergywoman.It is the universal appeal of the Qur’an that brought the Rev. Jamie Hamilton close to Islam despite Western stereotyping of Islam and Muslims.

Hamilton, from the Religion Department at Phillips Exeter Academy, New Hampshire, is a scholar of comparative religion.During her recent visit to the Kingdom, she had discussions with several intellectuals including Prince Faisal bin Abdullah, minister of education. She told Arab News that the Holy Qur’an has a lot to offer people as it gives them structure, guidelines and purpose, “instead of just being focused on material things.”

Hamilton's retrospection of 9/11 vis-à-vis Islam changed her perception about Muslims. Advising people to read the Qur’an, she said: “So many people have their own baseless judgments about Qur’an and Islam … it absolutely surprises me how people make judgments on something they have not read.”   She added: “Once I realized that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was preaching to followers of all divine books, I realized that I too was part of his community.”

Hamilton, who is writing a book on Islam, explained: “As I started to study Islam, I could see that Christians and Muslims shared many ideas and approaches to our religions.”
The scholar, who quotes extensively from the Qur’an and Hadith, cherishes her insights about Islam. “The contemplation of the verses of the Qur’an has helped me deepen my faith.”

Israel the only democracy with Suppressed Voices

Israel is back in News again for wrong reasons as usual.. this time for killing its own agent who worked for the most unethical organization on face of this earth called Mossad.

The sin of the agent was He was going to expose the dirty games of Mossad.

We see the Israel and USA teach lessons everyday to the Arab world to open up its media and   allow  people to voice there opinions,their throats go dry barking a lot about freedom of speech but this same Israel sits cool on a big episode like killing there own people in the name of protecting the state of Israel.

The so called independent state of Israel built on grabbed land of Palestinians feel that the Jewish world is still in a position to do what it wants but we should be reminded that world has changed a lot one indication of which is Israel and its unethical big brother Uncle Sam got a humiliating defeat in UNESCO vote on palestine observer state.

Even when you see the Google News page you will find that any news which Israel wants to supress is cooly hidden from public arena and news which hardly impacts others is put on top...eg. Zygier's murder has been hidden and murder of a sportsman girlfriend is the top news.

Eitan Cabel (Labor) said the following words “The current episode should lead to a shake-up in all the branches of the security establishment,” he said. “When it comes to anything to do with media, [the attempt to suppress coverage] shows conservatism or ignorance or both. Perhaps our boys haven’t noticed but the world has changed.”

TOI reports this

"The Mossad chief passionately urged media outlets not to report details of the 'Foreign Correspondent' programme, saying it would deeply embarrass the security services.
