I heard this song on the radio this lovely morning. The disc jockey said that it is one of the greatest songs ever written by a human being.

True story.

I am filled with gratitude. *The Humanity of Muhammad* just hit 300 ratings on Amazon. Incredibly, it has a 93% rating at 5 stars. As JFK said, “We must find time to stop & thank the people who make a difference in our lives.” I cannot say thank you enough. I truly appreciate it.

*United in suffering.* That has a humbling, yet beautiful ring to it. Here is the print excerpt from my previous post about today’s publication in The Sunday Times. Peace.

Why is there enduring support for Palestine among the Irish? As I explain in @thetimes (The Times and The Sunday Times), there are historical parallels linked to ethnic cleansing and systematic dehumanization. Ireland's past is Palestine's present. Let us not suffer from historical amnesia. See the Linktree in my bio for access to the article.

A breath of fresh air.

The harassment of academics, activists, journalists, and peacemakers around the world alarms me. Threats and intimidation tactics have serious consequences for the livelihood of both individuals and groups. Fallacious and libelous slander is a strategic assault on our fundamental human rights. I stand in solidarity with those who are silenced.

Here is another book endorsement of “People of the Book - Prophet Muhammad’s Encounters with Christians.” Dr. Josef Meri is an expert in the history of interfaith relations in the Middle East & a professor at the College of Islamic Studies, Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Doha, Qatar).

Although they are typically seen to represent overwhelming opposites, the Prophet Muhammad and America’s founding fathers shared many common characteristics and beliefs, which can be seen in historical documents. By comparing the speeches and texts that they left behind, we can learn of the similar viewpoints that Muhammad and the founding fathers held on issues pertaining to equal rights and religious liberty. *This is from an article I wrote in 2013* (the material is also featured in "The Humanity of Muhammad - A Christian View"). See *link in bio* to read the entire article.

I am excited to launch my speaking tour for “People of the Book - Prophet Muhammad’s Encounters with Christians,” my newest book. The first stop is Salt Lake City, Utah, where I will be speaking at the Utah Islamic Center, the First Baptist Church, BYU, & UVU on Friday Oct. 22nd.

Be a better ally.

Prophet Muhammad’s covenant with the Christians of Najran is key. He agreed to protect their land, livelihood, & property, & made it clear that he’d assist them in their social & economic progress. Muhammad became an ally of the Christians, just as King Ibn Abjar of Christian Abyssinia became an ally to the Believers/Muslims during the first Hijra in 615. This is an excerpt from Chapter 5 (“Guests & Hosts”) of “People of the Book - Prophet Muhammad’s Encounters with Christians,” my latest book.

May we always be each other's guardians.

I hope to see you in heaven.

Prophet Muhammad was a trailblazer.

To my friends & kindred spirits in the Irvine, California area. I will be in town for a book talk on October 23 at the @salaamicorg. Event organized in tandem with the Pacifica Institute. Looking forward to meeting & greeting. Register/RSVP by visiting the *link in my bio.* Peace to you all.

I am looking forward to this webinar organized by @affinity_if & the Columban Centre for Christian-Muslim Relations.

Here’s an excellent review of “People of the Book - Prophet Muhammad’s Encounters with Christians” by Karim Shabazz, author of “Jesus & Muhammad - Two Rays of the Same Light” & a kindred spirit of mine. May this book inspire the bridge builders & strengthen our common humanity.

It takes a wise man to recognize a wise man.

Kindness. Trust. Tolerance.
