Riz Khan Imam Mohammad Qatanani 2 Oct 08 - Part 1

2008-10-31T21:31:08Z

How did a New Jersey town rise above post 9/11 prejudices to find justice and create a stronger community based on interfaith understanding? On Thursday's Riz Khan we look at the remarkable case of Imam Mohammad Qatanani - a man who faced certain deportation, along with his family, had his community not rallied behind him. Speaking on his behalf in court were a Jewish Rabbi, Christian priest, local sheriffs and FBI agents. The Imam was targeted by the Department of Homeland Security because of a prior detention by Israel. While detained, he was tortured and forced to sign a confession which he could not read. In the end, the US Immigration Judge ruled that the Department of Homeland Security testimony was unreliable and said that the family should be granted residency status. We look at the implications of the case, how it serves as a model, not only for the US, but for interfaith dialogue everywhere.

The London Handshake - Give Peace A Hand - instrumental

2008-11-19T02:50:17Z

The Dalai Lama's handshake on leaving the Royal Albert Hall was passed along a human chain of over 2000 activists who took to the streets of the city of London, shaking hands with each other right up to the Chinese Embassy. The activists wore T-shirts saying "Give Real Talks A Hand" and, in Chinese, "One China -- Talks on Tibet". They joined a procession behind the handshake, led by three children, culminating in the delivery of Avaaz's 1.67-million global petition for meaningful dialogue between China and the Dalai Lama at the embassy.

(April 24, 2008) Former president Jimmy Carter meets with the leadership of Hamas in Syria. The meeting brings swift and harsh condemnation from the Bush administration and Israel. Even the U.S. presidential candidates question the move. But a defiant Carter shrugs off the criticism, accusing Washington and Tel Aviv of missing an historic opportunity for dialogue. The meeting is largely overlooked in the United States.

Dialogue & Differences

2008-11-19T04:43:48Z

I believe in dialogue between cultures.

I believe the more sincerely proud each culture is of its own real wealth, the more understanding there will be.

I believe those who want wars are the same showing us a world where no dialogue is possible.

I believe differences are to be accepted, and that this world is designed for a wide spectrum of cultures to exist.

I believe no one has the right to force or impose cultural changes on other nations.
