My interview with Faiza Khan, an amazing person with an unnerving self discipline, clarity in her goals, and a graceful persona. Hope you will enjoy my conversation with her. Faiza came to the US from Karachi, Pakistan when she was only 18 as an only child trying to keep up with her mother's dream that her only daughter will be SOMETHING one day. She attended Aeronautical University for her BSc in Aviation Computer Science and then went on to do her Masters in Aviation Business Administration from the same university. She then worked for US Airways in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before getting married and moving to Boston in 2000. She was a stay at home mother of 4 until 2010 which is when she applied and got accepted to the Boston Teacher Residency Program to do her Masters in Education from UMass while teaching at Boston English High School as part of her teaching practicum. She has been a full time High School Mathematics and AP Computer Science teacher since 2010 at Medford High School. She is currently the Robotics Team Advisor, MIT Beaverworks Advisor and is finishing up her practicum for a curriculum Director, a role she is not sure if she want to take in the future. Faiza has been associated with ICB Wayland Sunday School in various capacities. She taught 2nd grade religion for 4 years before taking on the vice principal position in 2010. Ever since then she has rotated for the positions of Principal and Vice Principal and is looking forward to completing her current tenure as a principal in June 2018. She has 4 kids (a junior in high school, a freshman in high school and twin daughters in 6th grade) and an amazingly supportive husband who she credits greatly for all her success after marriage.

PART 2: DAISY KHAN - ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT AMERICAN MUSLIM WOMEN.

My guest this week is Daisy Khan. Khan is the author of two books,WISE Up:Knowledge Ends Extremism (2017), which is published in collaboration with 72 contributors and Born with Wings (2018) her memoir, published by Spiegel and Grau, Random House. Daisy Khan grew up in a progressive Muslim household in Kashmir, in the shadow of the Himalayan mountains. After attending Catholic school, she was sent for high school to live with relatives in a mostly Jewish Long Island suburb. Ambitious and talented, after college she quickly climbed the corporate ladder as an architectural designer in New York City, where among other jobs she worked on the 106th floor of the World Trade Towers for Shearson Lehman Brothers. Yet though she loved the freedom that came with being a career woman, she felt that something was missing from her life. This yearning precipitated a spiritual search resulting in her marrying an imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, and finding herself at the center of a community in which, as the imam's wife, women turned to her for advice. She embraced her role as a women's advocate: she has created innovative ways to work with imams to end child marriage, eradicate female genital mutilation, and most recently educate young Muslims to resist the seductive promises of ISIS recruiters. Khan created the first women's Shura (advisory) Council and started WISE, one of the largest global movements of women that works to reclaim women's rights. Khan emerged as a leader in the public eye after finding herself at the center of a national debate surrounding the Ground Zero controversy.

Thank you.

I had the privilege and a thrilling experience to meet and spend a few hours with two brave and genuine human beings, Samah Salaime and Noam Shuster from Wahat Al Salam/Neve Shalom/Oasis of Peace.

What is the meaning of co-existence of Palestinians and Israeli.

"I am Jewish/Israeli but I was nurtured by Palestinian mothers just like I was nurtured by my own mothers. I can't celebrate Israeli independence day without recognizing that there is another side to the story of what happened to Palestinians in 1948 in those exact times. It doesn't contradict or threaten my identity. I think Acknowledgement and recognition are only ways for us to truly live together on this land."

"I like to talk a lot about existence….The Jewish narrative is a very Eurocentric narrative that we are taught about the holocaust and the history of Israel that is very main stream. And the Palestinians have their own history of the catastrophe in 1948 but within in the Jewish context what I didn't learn in school or even in the environment I grew up in, is actually the history of my mother and my family from Iran. The non European Jewish history, we have a long history of Jews living with side by side with Muslims in the Arab North African Middle Eastern world. The holocaust happened in Europe, it didn't happen to the Jews living side by side with Muslims, there is thousands of years of shared life , culture, politics, everything, and I think it is a shame, that we are not using this narrative."

"...oppressed by power."

"..we are paying the price..."

"My father is son of a holocaust survivor from Romania, and my mother was born in Iran."
