The 9-11 attack catapulted Muslim images in media. Just as George Bush was dividing the line of We versus they in the war on terror, differing voices of condemnation and celebration among Muslims oon suspected mastermind Osama brought a new age of mainstream debate in the Muslim world. Does Islam tolerate terrorism? Was the ensuing policy on war on terrorism against Muslims?

Andy didn't like speeches. But I would have renounced a duty if I did not share a personal view of a man, whose principles would outlive him.
I am a witness to a soul who lived a life of peace and ended it in peace. 30 years of marriage have left me blessed and thankful that I had known a man, who lived by the wisdom of silence and fortitude. Tomorrow would have been our 31st anniversary. Even in his painful moments experiencing his illness, he remained steadfast and willed our family to be prayerful. And while he had served most of his life abroad, he willed to come home to his humble hometown. Two days after we arrived in Lanao last Nov. 6, he succumbed to his last breath at the ICU. He was 56. It was a blessed Thursday, 1 am on the first ten days of the Holy Month of Ramadhan. We pray he goes to heaven.
