Ingrid Mattson's talk

Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim
In the Name of God, Infinitely and Tenderly Compassionate and Merciful

I thanked Ingrid Mattson in my first post to this blog for the inspiration that caused me create Allah Loves Kindness. Below is the video I watched of an interview she did with Penn State's Public Broadcasting. Ms. Mattson is very involved in Islam. She is head of Christian Muslim Relations at Hartford Seminary and also is currently president of Islamic Society of North America.

Insh'Allah, I will spend the next week or so posting my thoughts and responses about the topics discussed during the interview.

In the Name of God, Infinitely Merciful, Tenderly Compassionate

How many hadith have I read where the prophet, peace be upon him, tells us to be kind, peace loving, giving, compassionate, helpful, friendly, tolerant, gentle, forgiving, charitable? If you think Islam is about war and misogyny and oppression, you don't know Islam. And this blog is here to teach you the truth.

This blog is my gift to Allah. I pray it will be a bridge to peace. I thank Ingrid Mattson for motivating me and challenging me to start this blog.
