Many Muslims (myself included) have expressed concern that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has not met with American Muslims nor addressed their concerns, but apparently, on at least one occasion, he has. This is actually old (from May), but it’s news to me. I do not recall it being mentioned in the media at all.
Imam Sayid Hassan Al-Qazwini met on Wednesday May 14, 2008 with Senator Barack Obama, the democratic presidential candidate. The private meeting between the two took place at Macomb Community College – Michigan. In this meeting Imam Qazwini and Senator Obama discussed the upcoming presidential election, the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East and the War in Iraq.
Furthermore, in the end of the meeting Imam Qazwini offered a copy of his newly released book “American Crescent” to senator Obama. Imam Qazwini also invited Senator Obama to visit the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn.
