Muslim Peace Coalition- USA Condemned the Incendiary
Remarks of TV Host Bill O'Reilly that were made during
his appearance on the View. "Such statements are
irresponsible, inflammatory and demonizing", stated Imam
Khalid Griggs, the co-chair of Muslim Peace Coalition.
He went on to say, "Ohio State University has published
a report documenting that FOX News is contributing to
rumors about the Park 51 community center in lower
Manhattan. These rumors and the opportunities given to
lsamophobes on FOX is contributing to the climate of
hatred against Muslims and
promoting the demonization of Muslims".
The coalition was holding discussions with other Muslim,
civil rights and peace organizations on the need for a
protest rally in front of the FOX studios in New York
City. |

PAX CHRISTI "DAY OF
REFLECTION" |
|
Pax Christi will host a “Day of
Reflection,” featuring Jim & Shelley Douglas,
lifelong peace activists, who will share their story
and invite attendees to reflect on what we are
called to do for peace now. |
| Date/Time: |
Saturday, October 30th, 9:30am
to 4:00pm |
| Location: |
St. Joseph Church,
Franklin Ave. and Fifth Ave., Garden City |
| Donation: |
$25 (includes breakfast snack and
lunch) |
| NOTE: Though
this reflection day will reference nonviolence in
the Catholic tradition, Pax Christi offers a special
invitation to persons of other faiths, and to all
who are seeking a nonviolent path. |
| ERROR CORRECTION:
The September minutes which were mailed to the
membership recently, contained an error => they gave
the date for this "Day of Reflection" as "Saturday,
September 10." That date is WRONG! |
