Muslim neighbors share experiences in Robbinsdale panel discussion



By Boa Lee - Sun Newspapers


(Created: Wednesday, July 2, 2008 3:46 PM CDT)

No question was faux pas last week when Northwest Neighbors for Peace and the Robbinsdale United Church of Christ hosted a discussion at the church with a panel of six Muslims ranging in age from teens to seniors.



Organizers said the June 26 event was meant to foster better understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims.



"There are so many beautiful things I see in our cultures," said panelist Arafat El-Bakri of Coon Rapids.



El-Bakri, his wife and two daughters openly shared their experiences of being Muslim - both in the U.S. and when they lived abroad in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emir

    Why do people risk arrest in their resistance to war?


Perhaps Daniel Berrigan, on trial for resistance to the Vietnam War, said it best:


"The time is past when good people may be silent


when obedience


can segregate us from public risk


when the poor can die without defense.


How many indeed must die


before our voices are heard


how many must be tortured dislocated


starved maddened?


How long must the world(s resources


be raped in the service of legalized murder?


When at what point will you say no to this war?


We have chosen to say


with the gift of our liberty


if necessary our lives:


the violence stops here.


The death stops here.


The suppression of truth stops here.


This war stops here."

Neighbors: A
A Dialogue What is it like to be a Muslim and live in New Hope, Crystal, or another Minnesota suburb? In what ways have things changed in recent years? What are the greatest challenges to practicing Muslims in the workplace, the schools, the neighborhood? Is there job discrimination due to name alone? What things do Muslims and non-Muslims tend to misunderstand most about each other? We see images of large numbers of people responding to calls for prayer in the Middle East but how does that "work" here?
On this evening we will have a dialogue with a panel of people who practice the Muslim faith and reside in our NW suburban region.
