Dear Friends,
I am again invited to speak at a Jerusalem Day (Al-Quds in Arabic) rally for at least the 4th time, this time in Washington DC, on August 17th.  My topic, as always, will be Christian Zionism.  I speak from the New Testament as a follower of Christ, addressing why Christian Zionism is a major factor in preventing Peace for the Palestinians and for all of us. Most important, I will address why Christian Zionism, which may influence as many as 70 million in the USA alone, is neither Christian nor Scriptural, and therefore, why it can and must be changed. I am pleased to see a growing list of speakers and participants from Christian, secular, and Pro-Peace Jewish groups adding their voices to the devout Muslims you will hear, all seeking peace, first in Jerusalem, and then world-wide.  How fitting that this rally will begin in front of our Capital in Washington DC, where war upon Iran is being planned by Warmaking Lobbies and a willing Congressmen, and that the Rally will end with a dinner in a nearby Christian Church.  Trust me, you will be moved by the hospitality of our Muslim hosts.  Call me if you want more details, I hope to meet you there.
