Quotations from Rumi and Iqbal: Truly universal and humanistic. Keep it up!

Indeed it’s our responsibility to do our bit to correct and improve the perceptions about Islam and Muslims in the world. I feel cooperating with each other in such endeavours for reaching out to larger audiences both Muslims and non-Muslims alike goes a long way for establishing good relations between Muslims and the West.   

Taking this opportunity, I would also like to introduce Common Ground News <http://www.commongroundnews.org (CGNews) that seeks to promote mutual understanding, opportunities for dialogue and constructive suggestions that facilitate peaceful resolution of conflict. We publish and promote articles by local and international experts on current Middle East issues and the relationship between the West and the Arab/Muslim world. In the last 5 years, we have watched CGNews - Partners in Humanity grow from a few hundred subscribers to over 24,000 subscribers around the world. Our articles, first appearing in an English-language, twice-monthly edition, are now distributed weekly in Arabic, English, French, Indonesian and Urdu and have been reprinted more than 7,000 times.

Thinking we have much to share with each other, I would like to ask you if you would consider granting us a blanket permission to publish and distribute any article we find relevant from your site and publish and distribute accordingly!!! We will cite New Age Islam website as a source in each article we use. Please also feel free to take our articles and reprint at your site whatever you deem fit for that provided you acknowledge us (and the original source). You may also take articles from our Urdu site for the Urdu section of your website.

My best wishes and I look forward to hearing from you soon,
