    The third article on IMAN was pretty good. I liked this quote: “Islam comes in every form and every color”

    I’ve been looking forward to the IMAN event for the last few weeks. This is the first year that I’ve actually not had prior commitments and since I have actually commited myself to being at a booth - my mother was not able to lay down the guilt trip for her last minute “lamb roast at my house on Sunday” event.

    Thanks for the article - I’ll have to forward it to my daughter who actually asked if I could take her with (going through her rebellios stage and never wants to do anything mommy wants to do/does).

    Dave Chappelle’s brother seems to be a fully practicing Muslim, alhamdulillah. May Allah (Azza wa’Jall) enable Dave Chappelle himself to follow his brothers lead, ameen.
