A Mormon, Aaron Toponce, decides to fast during Ramadan and keeps a daily journal. It is an interesting read. He also is getting a different perspective that shows how Americans view Muslims in a negative sense.

Below is an interesting blog post on Islam and building of a mosque near the World Trade Center at Alas, a blog:
For all our nation’s many faults, there is one thing that our country got inarguably right, and that is freedom of religion. From the founding of the republic, religious tests for office have been banned, religious freedoms supported. The right to worship as one pleases, free from government coercion, is one of the cornerstone liberties of our nation, one equal to the freedom to speak and write as one pleases. By allowing all Americans to seek out God (or not) in the manner of their choosing, the Constitution has recognized that the freedom to profess one’s faith is, at its heart, one of the most important freedoms one can exercise.
