By Raphael Ahren In the wake of Operation Cast Lead, a group of American university professors has for the first time launched a national campaign calling for an academic and cultural boycott of Israel. While Israeli academics have grown used to such news from Great Britain, where anti-Israel groups several times attempted to establish academic boycotts, the formation of the United States movement marks the first time that a national academic boycott movement has come out of America. Israeli professors are not sure yet how big of an impact the one-week-old movement will have, but started discussing the significance of and possible counteractions against the campaign. " As educators of conscience, we have been unable to stand by and watch in silence Israel's indiscriminate assault on the Gaza Strip and its educational institutions ," the U.S. Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel stated in its inaugural press release last Thursday.

Sulaiman (Gary) Busby is someone who found Islam after a long journey of searching. He spent long time learning and studying Islam before deciding that it was indeed the truth. He is a person who rarely accepts new ideas without very thorough and logical investigation. Something that places his mind at rest in a way that leaves no doubts. At first he was skeptical, indeed he was kept in the dark about Islam whilst he lived in the Gulf Arab state of Qatar . Later after a trip to Turkey he began to investigate more what Islam really was about. Soon, he began to develop a thirst for more knowledge and information. This video explores his mindset before and after accepting Islam and his reasons for doing so:

(January 657). He decided to transfer the capital of his government to Kufa from Medina because it was more centrally placed in the Muslim Empire, and he could halt Muawiya’s progress into Iraq. However, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib(a.s.) tried to settle matters peacefully by sending an envoy to Syria. He chose Jarir,

http://www.turntoislam.com/ forum/showthread.php?t=49712   Salaam Alaikum, bros and sis on TTI! I'm not a new of TTI, so it's very late to introduce myself. Just last week, I was Don, an average Chinese univ student. And now, I'm Nurdeen, a new bro of yours. I'd like to talk about my conversion story. I'll be very happy if u like it. I became interested in religion since starting my univ career, 4 or 5 years ago. I read the scriptures of Buddhism, Bible, also some basic information of Islam. Do u know what did i find in Islam? A big Surprise! My country sticks to the ideology of Materialism and Atheism, in our education system, "religion" is labeled as something fake and deceptive. The image of God, or gods was created by some stupid barbarians and was taken advantage of rulers. Men themselves create some idols and worship such idols and that's the essence of religion, they say. Well, but what did i c in Islam? As we all know, the very spirit o
