I've just returned from the wonderful, inspiring and now very tiring Third Annual Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow Conference in Doha, Qatar. My first such Conference, and a fantastic opportunity; I must say, the governments of the region have been inspiring and supporting initiatives that our communities need a lot more of, and should be positively congratulated for having such visions.
But, of course, right now we are about to behold the long-delayed transfer of power. In that spirit, Tikkun Magazine asked a number of American activists, thinkers and leaders to pen memos to Obama. In this most recent issue, you can read yours truly, along with Imam Khalid Latif, writing to President Obama, advising him on what we think the American Muslim community most wants from him and his administration. The issue is available for sale at major booksellers everywhere.
Other American Muslim writers featured in Tikkun include Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and Prof. Omid Safi.
