5-6-11 Opening this page today as communication tool. Added a guestbook where you can comment and read the comments of others. (At the right time we will Twitter etc.) My information and thoughts here will be general rather than detailed. If you are a Saver and you want full details you must call me at 607-217-5812. Bi idthni l Lah. InshaAllah.  5-6-11 Recently, my son, Yusuf, agreed to plan two businesses. One is the core business. The other is a food business which will serve as a generator of revenue for launching the core business. The "intermediary" business I have in mind is likely to grow. Thus, when we launch the core business we will have two viable businesses. The intermediary business will complement the core business. It may have the potential to eventually rival the core business in growth. Speculation. Yusuf's task is to sort through all speculations and chart a viable course. Bi idthni l Lah. 5-6-11 As of today we have 9 participants (i.e. "Savers") and 61.00 in the fund. Discouraging? Not at all. People see the ads at Facebook and in their emails. Many people have praised the project--but have not become Savers. It will take time for it to register that the ad speaks to them. At the right time--when there is a little more buzz--I will ramp up the advertising effort. That will include asking Savers for help with advertising. For now, just relax. Do whatever you like casually. Submit your ideas. Bi idthni l Lah. InshaAllah.  5-6-11 American Muslim 360 Radio at Blogtalk Radio. I am developing a relationship with Brother Thomas Abdul-Salaam, the founder and CEO of AM360. I hope to eventually host a show there and/or present our project as a guest of Brother Thomas and other hosts. Bi idthni l Lah. Muslims in prison. A number I hear is 300,000. MBOA is a solution. Muslim inmates are a solution. They can make MBOA happen. I have been a "Contract Imam." I have good ties in the prisons, with inmates and with chaplains. More about this via telephone. Bi idthni l Lah. InshaAllah.
