Sami Rasouli 2008 - Muslim Peacemaker Teams

Sami Rasouli

As a dual citizen of Iraq and the USA, resident for 20 years of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, Sami Rasouli brings a special perspective to his work with the Muslim Peacemaker Teams.

Sami spoke at Eau Claire area schools, including UW-EC, on March 31, 2008, and in a personal interview with Northern Spirit Radio.

This was part of a 2-month tour across the USA to bring on-the-ground news to the American people. The speech at UW-Eau Claire was sponsored by Staff and Faculty for Peace and Justice and the midwest tour was assisted by Mike Miles of Anathoth Community Farm.

Sami Rasouli 2008 - Muslim Peacemaker Teams
What are Iraqi Insurgents Opposing
Sami Rasouli clearly understands the Iraqi people "from the inside", so he addresses the <strong><em>real</em></strong> motivation of Iraqis opposing the US occupation.
A Stark Contrast - In the Green Zone
What a breath-taking contrast, rationing in the "red zone", super abundance in the "green zone".
Selling Bodies
One of the side effects of the occupation is the economic devastation and 50,000 Iraqi women selling their bodies, in Syria alone!
Human Shields for the US Military
Why is the Iraqi military not doing better at "picking up the slack"? Because they are not equipped, and we can't equip them because we don't trust them.
How to Attain Peace in Iraq
It looks different "on the ground" in Iraq, and this is how Sami sees that we could have peace in Iraq.
Confronting Violence Within - Naming Peace
Here's a suggestion for building bridges to overcome the walls of violence and separation between us.
Growth of Muslim Peacemakers
Founded in 2005, the Muslim Peacemaker Teams are growing, working to spread the word that Islam is Peace, and non-violence is the work of Muslims.
