President Barack Obama, speaking from the Egyptian capital, sought a new beginning in U.S. relations with the Muslim world in his Cairo speech in June 2009. I find it a duty to be an active participant in eradicating the stereotypes each world has one of the other and in engaging in debates about global issues that have various perspectives. That way we can clarify our true identities and reduce the current destabilizing tensions. Through this blog, I’ll try to make the best of it in order to renovate the ties between both worlds. My blog also will target Lebanese society to wipe out prejudices and stereotypes for a better enlightenment about issues that concern the Lebanese includig women’s issues, political and social corruption, and Lebanese youth.
I drop a leave a response each time I like a article on a website or if I have something to add to the conversation. It is caused by the passion communicated in the article I browsed. And after this article The Voice of Tolerance | Maysash&. I was moved enough to drop a thought 😉 I actually do have 2 questions for you if you don’t mind. Is it only me or do some of the responses come across like they are coming from brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are writing at other online sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you list every one of your community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
