here's Leonard Nimoy with
his pointy ears when you
really need him?
Thoughts of the Star Trek logician
began last week at a lunch and learn
at Congregation Beth Shalom in Oak
Park, and it's been steamrolling ever
since.
Eide Alawan, a liaison to Imam
Sayed Hassan Al-Qazwini and the
Islamic Center of America in
Dearborn and heavily involved in
interfaith relations, was the guest of
Rabbi David Nelson.
They're frequent panelists on
WTVS-TV (Channel 56) Interfaith
Odyssey at 7 a.m. on Sundays, and the
rabbi brought Alawan to lunch to help
30 guests understand the Danish car-
toon controversy, which has caused
increasing waves of protests from -
Islamic fundamentalists around the
world, resulting in 45 deaths.
"Idol worship is totally forbidden;
cartoons in the prophets' images,
whether it be Abraham, Moses, Jesus,
Noah, is forbidden in our faith tradi-
tion," said Alawan. "Some of these
people who have the riots and the
burning of embassies are not repre-
senting Muslims. We're 1.2 or 1.3 bil-
lion Muslims in the world. We are not
at all of that mindset."
Questions arose from the crowd.
Anti-Semitism taught.in madrassas
(Islamist religious schools) and Arab
countries is an Arab problem, not a
Muslim one, he told a questioner,
adding it would take another discus-
sion to explain that mindset.
"There is not an Arab country that I
would say demonstrates Islam," he
said, citing that Arabs only represent 18
percent of Muslims around the world.
"Arabs and Muslims are not synony-
mous," he told the questioner. "I'm
looking at you as a person of faith, and
that's where I need you to look at me."
When another questioner asked
Alawan why there's not much
response from the moderate Muslim
community about the over-reaction to
the cartoons, Alawan disagreed.
"There's a lot of response, you're just
not seeing it:' he said, citing fault with
the media. "The problem is we're just
not as sophisticated as you folks are
With the news media.
"When the Koran was disgraced,
flushed down the toilet (in Guan-
tanamo], the Jewish community came
and was part of a prese'ntation with

the Christian community," he said of
the interfaith assembly held in
Dearborn last summer.
"We've come together a lot closer
since Sept. 11 in our communities," he
said. "Interfaith work will lead us to
the brotherhood that we're looking for
in all our faith traditions."
Over the weekend, Muslim protest-
ers marched in Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan
and Indonesia to demonstrate against
the publishing of the Danish cartoons.
They chanted slogans against
Denmark, Israel and the United States.
Indonesian police fired warning
Eide Alawan and Rabbi Nelson
shots in Surabaya, Indonesia's second
largest city, as 400 protesters threw
rocks, tomatoes and eggs at the U.S.
Embassy, and then tried to steal the
consulate's plaque.
Taking logical aim at the problem
leads to more questions.
What does the United States have to
do with a Danish editorial cartoon?
Why is there hatred for Israel in a
non-Arab country like Indonesia?
Am I asking the wrong questions, or
has there been a quantum shift in log-
ical thought?
When I see the Olympic silver
medal in pairs ice skating going to a
couple that fell during their long pro-
gram, I wonder about the logic.
\1/hen I hear Harry Whittington apol-
ogizing to Vice President Dick Cheney
for getting shot, I wonder about logic.
And when I read that the Bush
administration has approved a deal
where Dubai's port company, DP World,
will run security at ports in New York,
New Jersey, Philadelphia, Miami,
Baltimore and New Orleans, I don't
wonder, I plead: Beam me up, Scotty. 1
