How does this play with the Muslim world. On one side President Obama offers his hand of friendship to the Muslim world; his first phone call was to Mahmood Abbas, the PLA president and assigns George Mitchell to work out a peace deal in the Middle East and Richard Holbrook as special US envoy to Pakistan. Where as, on the other hand, the very next day the American drone resume bombing in FATA, Pakistan, killing twenty civilians. The argument given is the allies in this war of terror will be treated with trust and respect. Now the Pakistani governement agrees that change of administration does not guarantee change in policy, but they find that change in the tactics is in order.
Sending drone to bomb inside a sovereign nation reflects badly not only on the government of Pakistan, in fact, it induce malice and mistrust in its people towards United States along with its own government. Pakistan is right when it demands that it should be given the time and power to work with the people of the trouble areas in curbing and eradicating terrorist pockets. Obama administration must not forget that such irresponsible acts of pre-emptive strike puts Pakistan in a precarious position. It is a very difficult time for Pakistan, who is paying a heavy price of being an ally. Pakistan has been doing every thing in its power to contain the problem to the best of its abilities, and it is not taken amicably to see a friend turning already a difficult situation into a bad one.
The smart move will be to take the government of Pakistan in full confidence and develop a successful strategy that will take the people and the government of Pakistan out of this quagmire of bloodshed, and misrey that is spreading rapidly to the other regions of Pakistan. Pakistan is a land of progressive minded and hard working people, it pains them more than any one to see radical elements terrorizing them into sujugation, by blowing up schools and hotels, spreading fear by tactics such as suicide bombing, acid throwing and abduction of children for ransom. These element are trying to rob Pakistan off its financial and social backbone. No one wants to see these radical element destroyed more than Pakistan itself. United States should work hand in hand with the Pakistani government to restore peace to the people of Pakistan.

Dear Friend,
Hope was a big part of my life during the election, and in the short time since the inauguration, I am seeing reasons to believe my hope was justified. The momentum that began on inauguration day won't last long, though. We have a window and we must take advantage of it, specifically to make real progress on peace in Gaza and Israel. We must continue to hope – and HOPE BIG. Please join me in asking President Obama to make good on his promise of hope. Add your name to mine on this open letter by Jewish Voice for Peace and Just Foreign Policy to President Obama about hope. (Please sign the open letter by going here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/301/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1814)

Dear President Obama,
Your presidency marks the beginning of a new era in America and in the world. Against all odds and maybe even our own better judgment, you taught us to hope again. Now, the crisis in Gaza demands that you match our hope with real progress. And, just to be clear, those who voted for you aren't the only ones doing the hoping.We are Americans who voted for you and we are Palestinians and Israelis a world away. We are the women, men, and children who are suffering every single day in Gaza and Israel and we are the people who seek to heal their suffering. We are mothers of soldiers and children of refuseniks. We are Jews and Muslims, Christians and Atheists. We are united in our call to you today:Please, support peace for the people of Gaza and Israel.Press for an end to the blockade of Gaza, so that the people there can have food, medicine, fuel, and basic necessities. That is the only way that they can live, thrive, and rebuild their economy.Talk to everyone, including Hamas. The late Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban said, "You make peace by talking to your enemies." This holds true today. Even a mjority of American Jews support negotiations even with Israelis "worst enemies."Back up talk with actions. This includes monitoring arms smuggling into Gaza and U.S. military aid to Israel. Theseweapons are killing mostly children and civilians.And, support the Peace Plan. 57 countries around the world support this plan that provides independence and support for both Israel and Palestine. Peace Plan supporters won't wait for the United States forever – and without the United States, it won't happen. It's that simple.President Obama, we will continue to hope, and to support your efforts. Please, don't let us down. Please deliver the promise of hope.

A letter to Barbara and Jenna Bush

To Barbara and Jenna Bush,

Every house is magical for a child, irrespective of the fact if it is build of mud, stones, glass, tin or leaves off a tree. And, childhood is a magical time where fathers are Giants and mothers are fairies. Some children grow up to cherish their childhood memories, and pass on their stories to their young ones while others are not so lucky. When bombs destroy their homes, and kill their parents and leave them in destitution and pain, they learn to fetch for them at a very early stage; the faces of their giants and fairies fade away quickly and they become bitter and angry as they grow up. They do not share any good memories of their past with their offspring. The only memories they have is of desolation, despair, misery, pain and heartaches. When the leaders of the world act irresponsibly, unrest is the induced, wars are broken out and children become the real losers in this course of action. Your letter to Malia and Sasha is sweet, poignant and full of love and fondness towards your father; I just hope and pray that all the children of the world can share these feelings with two very sweet and happy girls in the White House.

It will be nice to see that smile on every child's face.

I am so proud of President Obama. Just one day in office and he is already showing his commitment to fulfil his promises. An executive draft is already in the making ordering closing of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Some of the 245 detainees will be release while others will be transferred elsewhere and later put on trial.
The White house press secretary, Robert Gibbs, said that the president spoke to the leaders of Palestine, Eygpt, Jordan and Israel on telephone and assured them that this adminstration is committed in persuit of Arab-Israeli peace from the begining of the term; he intend to consolidate the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
He also met with senior military and foreign policy official in Situation Room along with the Vice President to discuss the responsible military withdrawl from Afghanistan and Iraq.
This president is certainly going to be a president of peace.

Welcome President Obama

Al-Fâtiha - The Opening

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the world;

Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment.

Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.

Show us the straight way,

The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace,

those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

-The Holy Quran

-translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali

I am delighted to create this blog on the day Barack Hussain Obama is sworn-in as the first African American President of the United States of America. This new president inspires and motivates the people, young and old, all across the nation and the world. President Obama is the ultimate epitome of hope, change, responsiblity and peace, and the Muslims of the world will help this president to achieve his goal.

“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict or blame their society's ills on the West, know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.”
Inaugural Address of Barack Hussain Obama, 20th January,2009.
