A confluence of auspicious events.

Deaths in Gaza. Violence in Israel. Deals with the Saudis. Mediation with Hamas by Qatar. Iranian weapons to Hezbollah. It takes more than a headline to understand the story behind the story. It’s publication day for "America and Islam!" #middleeast #gaza #israel #saudi #qatar #Lebanon #booksky

Since before the birth of the Republic, Muslims have been the bogeymen of American politics. The New York Mayoral race is just business as usual. New edition of "America & Islam" is out Oct. 30. #islam #muslim #islamophobia #mamdani #newyorkmayorrace #NYelection #Cuomo #Silwa #booksky #bookstagram

Muslims have been the convenient bogeyman since before the U.S. was a country. Explore the sweep of history in our tragic relationship in America & Islam. #muslim #islam #islamophobia #mamdani #cuomo #booksky @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @priscillagrim.bsky.social @nycagainstcuomo.bsky.social

Diwali is an opportunity for all of us -- whether or not we are Hindu -- to pause, cleanse, and renew. #hindu #diwali #vedic #mysticism #contemplation #spirituality #meditation #booksky

The Tuesday clashes in Gaza were a glimpse of what is to come. Turf wars and new militias rising from the ashes will make Gaza the new Beirut. My 2-cents-worth on CBC’s The National. New edition of America & Israel - including Gaza - out Oct. 30. #gaza #palestine #islam #israel #booksky

We may not be able to isolate ourselves in contemplation for three months, but the Buddhist Rain Retreat offers us a chance to pause and, as Thich Nhat Hahn - and Bobby McFerrin! - told us, be happy. #thichnhathanh #buddhism #theravada #zen #contemplation #meditation #booksky

For Western Buddhists, Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu is where it all began. And Nick Ribush was among those who laid the seeds. #LYWA #kopan #fpmt #buddhism #kathmandu #tibet #gelug #vajrayana #mysticism #spirituality #lamayeshe #lamazoparinpoche #booksky
