Asalamoalikum,

What the hell you mean MRAZA by callin Sir Syed a Muslim?

Do you know about his belief?

it`s about time somebody appreciate the work done by this great Muslim leader. IMO he was way ahead of his time. i only wish that his idea of advancement through modern education was more seriously taken by muslim leaders of that time. Imagine what kind of atmosphere we be living in today if his educational reforms were taken seriously. Now I don`t know much about india but most of pakistani problem are due to illetrate masses.

I am so sorry to have missed it. I must say however, that I did not see anything about this gathering anywhere around the bay area. Would have loved to have been a part of it.
Ras, is there a good way to keep up with these events in and around the bay area. Is there an email list or board or something. Anyone!?!
