Assalamu'alaikum Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I am Barbara Cartabuke and appear on your site in the CNN article. I would like to clarify a statement in that article. I always felt that praying to Jesus and Mary was 'wrong for me'. I in no way am the judge of my Christian friends or anyone for that matter. I was interviewed for about 30 minutes and spoke about the beauty of Islam, the equity it gives to all, the beauty of people of different ethnic backgrounds coming together for the pleasure of Allah. Unfortunately none of this aired-they decided to just go with the one statement. I guess that is how the media works.
I hope to learn more about this web site and participate in a meaningful way.
May Allah guide and protect us on our paths.
Peace and love,
Barb
