Community Leaders and Activists Met with Congresswoman Debbie" Dingell Strongly Supported President Obama on Iran Nuclear Deal!
We like to thank Congresswoman Dingell and Ostad Osama Siblini for arranging a friendly, frank and fruitful conversation. The participants expressed their appreciation for the hard works of negotiating teams and admired the wisdom of president Obama and president Rouhani for ending such a long conflict through peaceful diplomacy and dialogue.
Imam Elahi asked the Congresswoman to take the message of this group and the entire American Muslims in Michigan to the Congress and do her best through her outreach to put an end to any ignorance, injustice and selfish political game regarding this win-win diplomatic development between Islamic Republic of Iran and United States of America.
Imam mentioned that those who oppose this deal don't want to learn any lesson from history of American wars in the past and are promoting the direction of more death and destruction in a region where already suffers from the most painful human tragedy in its entire history.
Of course for some logical reasons there is some opposition to this deal in Iran as well, but there is a unanimous support for president Rouhani's vision and work. We should do the same in America for president Obama. It's ok to have differences and disagreements but the solution is dialogue and this is what has happened. We must unanimously support president Obama on this agreement. The collapse of this agreement means the collapse of credibility and integrity of America and the values that this nation appreciate and stand for.
Congresswoman Dingell listened carefully to the statements of all participants and at the end addressed the community's concerns. She promised to meet also with other communities and listen to all opinions before going back to Washington D.C. and speak with other Representatives in the Congress!

Youth of Wisdom Picnic
Last Sunday- August 9, 2015: The Youth of Wisdom held their first Interfaith Picnic at Hemlock park in Dearborn, Michigan. Participants of all ages had an opportunity to meet new faces while enjoying fun and family oriented activities together. Before the start of the bbq lunch that was prepared by volunteers of the Youth of Wisdom, Imam Elahi led the afternoon prayer in the park.
Following, Hajji Vicki Ashker facilitated a reflective group discussion. A video collage will be posted soon featuring highlights of the gathering. New friendship was formed and long-time friends were reunited.
