Zarabes writes (Fr): “We members of the moslem community of la Reunion, are watching powerless the current events in Palestine and Lebanon. Tired of the ambiant silence, we ask the various heads of the island's masjids to hold a common discourse next Friday (July 28, 2006) for the salat of d'jouma or to delegate this task to the officiating Imam on that day. We suggest that all the bayanes that will take place this friday talk about the topic that currently preoccupies the Islamic world i.e. the slaying of our brothers, sisters and children in Palestine and Lebanon.”

Part 2 of “Briefs from the elections” from Angolan blogger, Koluki: “Earlier on Saturday, the main opposition party, UNITA, announced its intention to impugnate the election, claiming a “collapse” of the process in the capital, Luanda, and “numerous cases of organisational failures, forceful prevention of some electors from exercising their right to vote, violence and political intolerance” in the 18 provinces, of which they were in the process of collecting evidence to submit to the Constitutional Court.”

Koluki writes about elections in Angola: “Earlier on Friday the head of the EU mission, the Italian Luisa Morgantini, called the election “a total disaster” . The same assessment was made by the leader of the opposition, Isaias Samakuva, who called for a repeat of the election in Luanda, where of the 584 polling stations 320 didn't function.”

I am Christian married to Muslim, I wish to join moderates from all sides to press for peace without violence. Have you read the book “Peace is the Way” by Deepak Chopra. It is a guide for peace, he states he set the spark for peace but that the flame must be ignited by populations of people setting the stage. If anyone is interested in pulling together forhumanity please contact me. I think we can overcome the violence by pulling together. My heart is with the world at this time.
