Peace message in Iran’s election - CSMonitor.com

VOTE AGAINST EXTREMISM: Despite a rigged list of candidates, voters in Iran’s Feb. 26 election found a way to elect relative moderates who seek a less threatening country more open to the world. The vote was a humiliating blow to Iran’s clerical rule.

A New Beginning

President Obama gave a speech this week that has been widely hailed as inspiring and a major first step in bringing peace and prosperity to the Middle East and around the world. In it, he shows how peace is the purpose of all three great religions of the area -- Islam, Judaism, and Christianity -- and how respect for one another and really listening to each other's needs instead of breeding hate and fear is the way forward we must choose, no matter how difficult.

Sadly, some major news media and politicians have distorted the message or downplayed it.

I urge you hear and see the speech for yourself. I promise you it is inspiring. You must hear the entire speech for yourself --

• If you are serious about your faith
• If you are serious about your patriotism
• If you have any expectation of being perceived as an informed and intelligent individual
• If you care about helping promote peace and respectful relationships
