Business Executives: Groups and Bar Muslims

business executives: They are putting aside for now their divisions over Israel to join forces to resist whatever may come next, according to Hamilton Spectator. New groups are forming and interfaith coalitions that already existed say interest is increasing. American Muslims and Jews are banding together, jolted into action by a wave of hate crimes against both groups and by Trump threats to bar Muslims from entering the country and register those living here. The groups are targeting not just clergy, but also laypeople, including business executives, students and women. Vaseem Firdaus, a Muslim who has lived in the United States for 42 years, spent Friday night at a Shabbat dinner for members of a women group called the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom, in a home here filled with Jewish art and ritual objects. Often the initial goal is simply to overcome stereotypes and get to know one another as fellow Americans. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
