ATH: Imam Mohammed(ra) "A New Mind - On Race, Pride, and Opportunity"

"We have to work on showing the one single picture for all people which is the most important picture for each of us separately, that is the human picture, cause if we get out of the human picture then we are worthless to humanity, but as long as we stay in the human picture we have the first picture and the best picture.  And G’d makes me believe this, I’m a Religious man as you know, G’d makes me believe this I’m a student of science too when He says that I am the One that made your picture, He didn’t say pictures in Qur’an, single picture, I am the One Who made or gave you your single  picture and I made your picture most excellent this is what G’d said in our Holy Book in the Qur’an.  I am the One Who gave you your picture and I have made your picture most excellent, that’s the human picture that G’d intends for us, He made us to be human beings aspiring to be better and better all the time, this is the human spirit the true human spirit in us wants to be better and better all the time.
