Mohammad Shamsi Ali

Ha-Aretz (which I sort of view as the Israeli version of the New York Times) has a glowing article today about Mohammad Shamsi Ali.  He is the deputy imam for the Islamic Cultural Center (or ICC) located on 96th Street in the Upper East Side - a couple of blocks away from where we live.  I took a picture of the mosque dome some time ago.  Maybe it’s time to drop by there for another visit.

Islam By Country Link

This Islam By Country wikipedia link is interesting if you want to know something about the history of Islam in a wide variety of countries, including many countries that aren’t normally considered “Islamic” in nature (El Salvador, Korea, Brazil, etc.). There is a table with countries links listed in alphabetical order - but it’s the “details” link next to each country link that is of interest.
