Maintaining a web site is not easy, especially when you have limited resources. That is whay I am writing to ask for your help. Your donation will do a lot to promote the moderate Arab and Palestinian voice, something we need more of in the Arab and the Islamic community.
Your donations will be used in a lot of good ways:
1) Maintain this and the other web sites that I pay for from my own pocket.
www.theMediaOasis.com
www.ArabAmericanTVOnline.com
www.TVChicagoland.com
www.RadioChicagoland.com
2) Help me pay for the costs of videotaping and editing various documentaries and programs on Arab American and Muslim history, the most important being the programs that document Arab American history in Chicagoland.
Every year, I volunteer to serve as a guide with the City of Chicago's Open Spaces program, providing tours through Chicago's Arab Community twice each year, usually in May of each year.
3) Continue to publish my books, which are available on Lulu.com.
4) Underwrite my Punchlines for Peace comedy drive which takes the power of humor to conflict zones around the world, but especially in the Middle East.
5) Publish articles advocating peace and compromise between Palestinians and Israelis. Most of the columns I write are published without charge by many Arab, American and Islamic publications. Only a few are syndicated for pay.
Thanks for listening.
