Here We Go!

Asalaam alaikum (peace be upon you) and welcome to the All-American Traveling Quran's travel journal.

I am an English translation of the Holy Quran and I have been traveling across America to experience the diverse and vibrant culture it has to offer.

I began my journey in Texas with my first travel companions (a young blonde American woman and a charming Canadian fellow) and have since had some amazing experiences in this vast and beautiful country.

I hope I get a chance to meet the many faces of American culture and find common ground so that we may know and appreciate one another, because of our differences not in spite of them. We can put minor differences aside and work together for the greater good. That is a core American value that I hold very close to my heart.

I set out on this journey with the sole intention of creating a path to peace and understanding through interfaith dialog. If we open up and get to know one another we can cultivate a new relationship founded on mutual respect. This is in no way a conversion mission. I truly believe the path of righteousness is a peaceful, friendly, compassionate one, regardless of what your religion or life philosophy is.

I hope to meet you, but if not please come visit my blog to see where I've been. I'm excited for the new food to try, art to see, parks to visit, history to learn, music to hear, and new friends to enjoy them with.

Here we go! Salam for now! (SFN)

If you would like to host a Quran in your home town, please email me at travelingquran@gmail.com. 
I would love to include a blog post about your little slice of America and our dialog together.
