East Meets West; Both Win

The Kendall County Democrats were treated tonight to an outstanding talk from Sarwat Husain. Ms. Husain hails from Pakistan, by way of Eau Claire Wisconsin, and now San Antonio.
Ms. Husain with John Weir

She gave a lot of background on Islam, she elaborated on what Islam and Christianity has in common, and she answered quite a few questions.

I had to admire a Muslim who only begain wearing her hijab (the covering for her hair) after 9-11 to help build the confidence of her Islamic friends who were afraid to even be seen in public. Ms. Husain decided she had to take a stand, even if she were made to suffer the wrath of those who would be ignorant. I'm happy to see that some people still have the courage of their convictions. And I'm quite happy to be a part of a club which brings speakers like this to expand our horizons. Thanks Sarwat Husain, and thanks to the KCDC!
