Peace Forum at CCCC
The
Peace Forum at Cape Cod Community College was held on November 11th, 2007. Many
thanks to
CCCC President
Kathleen
Schatberg
and
the
folks
at CCCC
for
hosting us and to Michael Gross, director of communications at CCCC for his
help in promotion. Thank you also to the seven Rotary clubs on the Cape who
sponsored the Forum. The entire forum can be viewed from this page on our
website. Please use the link below or click here to view the video.
We were very fortunate to have M Zuhdi Jasser MD as our
speaker. Dr Jasser is not only a good Rotarian and a moderate
Muslim, he is also a proud American. As you will see on the video he answered
all our questions re how to separate Spiritual Islam from Political Islam,
how we must engage Muslims in our quest for World Peace, what Muslims themselves
need to do in the US to get the true message of Islam out to the American public.
He is the voice of freedom-loving American Muslims. His
openness and honesty about what is good about the Islamic faith and what is
wrong with Islamism and Islamo-terrorism should serve a motivation to us as
Rotarians on the Cape to expand our dialogue to include all Rotarians on the
Cape and beyond.

Finally many thanks to our Yarmouth Rotary, Dialogue for Peace Committee for
making such a fine Peace Forum possible.
