Thousands Expected at Muslim Convention This Weekend

 

West Coast’s longest-running Muslim convention begins Friday

 

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA will be hosting its 34th West Coast Jalsa Salana (Annual Convention) this weekend aimed at bringing together Americans through dialogue and prayers. In what is the largest annual inter-faith gathering in San Bernardino County, the weekend-long event will feature a special session for guests on Saturday afternoon entitled, “Compassion in a Time of Conflict,” that will bring together congressional representatives, police chiefs, councilmembers, mayors, law enforcement, community leaders, and faith leaders across Southern California, as well as Muslims from around the country.

 

“Our Jalsa Salana is an annual tradition in Southern California during the holiday season to celebrate our common purpose of promoting peace on earth," said National Spokesperson for Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, Amjad Mahmood Khan. “By facilitating robust and meaningful conversations each year, the West Coast Jalsa Salana unites individuals from a diverse range of religious, ethnic and political backgrounds across Southern California for a singular purpose: to let the forces of love overwhelm the forces of hate.”

 

Event:     34th West Coast Jalsa Salana

Where:    Baitul Hameed Mosque, 11941 Ramona Avenue, Chino, CA

When:         

  • Opening Session – Friday, December 20, 2:45pm
  • Guest Session – Saturday, December 21, 3:45pm


Media:     Interviews with Muslim leadership and guest speakers can be organized.

 

Guest speakers at the Saturday afternoon Guest Session will include:

  • Norma Torres, U.S. Congresswoman
  • Eunice Ulloa, Mayor of City of Chino
  • Dr. Lynn Kennedy, Mayor Pro Tem, Rancho Cucamonga
  • Wesley Simmons, Chief of Police, City of Chino
  • With special message from Speaker of California Assembly

 

About the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community:

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a dynamic, reformist and fast-growing international movement within Islam. Founded in 1889, the Community spans 213 countries with tens of millions of members. Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, established in 1920, is among the first American-Muslim organizations.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to believe that the long- awaited messiah has come in the person of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908) of Qadian, India. Ahmad claimed to be the metaphorical second coming of Jesus of Nazareth and the divine guide, whose advent was foretold by the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. The Community believes that God sent Ahmad, like Jesus, to end religious wars, condemn bloodshed and reinstitute morality, justice and peace. Ahmad’s advent has brought about an unprecedented era of Islamic revival and moderation. He divested Muslims of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings.

A Zócalo/UCLA Downtown Event
Moderated by Joe Mathews, Editor and Columnist, Zócalo Public Square

Even in a city where people dare to be different, Zev Yaroslavsky stands out. Zev, now director of the Los Angeles Initiative at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs and the Department of History, has packed several lives into one lifetime, reshaping himself along with his fast-changing city. The child of immigrants from what is now Ukraine, Zev first drew notice as a UCLA student activist on behalf of Soviet Jews, before earning election to the L.A. City Council. Later, as a longtime member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, he was a leader in making far-reaching changes, involving everything from mass transit to healthcare to the Hollywood Bowl, in a county that he once compared to a “Soviet-style system … with too many people only sort of in charge and no person sufficiently at the helm to take responsibility.” What lessons has Zev learned about how to get things done in Los Angeles? How can art, culture, and politics shape each other here? And what sort of city is Los Angeles now in the process of becoming? The incomparable Zev Yaroslavsky visits Zócalo to reflect on the past, present, and future of his hometown.

Norman Solomon’s  name springs to mind at the mention of the word integrity. A  famed activist, journalist and author of a dozen books including War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death,  he’s co-founder and national coordinator of RootsAction.org, now with 1.2 million active supporters online in the United States.  

 

Does democracy always have to capitulate to corporate bullying? Old maxim strictly tells us we must stand up to bullies, for when we give in to bullying it doesn’t stop the bullying.  The relentless push for privatization is actually codeword for wanton corporate outsourcing, a depleted tax base, financial collapse and the inevitable struggle to survive. Norman, a  stalwart of true progressivism never bends like a sapling to the politically driven corporate windbags,  To survive the seduction to corporate mind games, we must listen to Norman’s  clarion call warning of the dangers to democracy of unchallenged corporate power.

 

Norman was elected as a Bernie Sanders delegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention, where he was the coordinator of the independent Bernie Delegates Network. His current work for RootsAction includes the Biden Fact Squad project.

 

His recent articles include:

**  “Why a DNC Vice Chair Bawled Me Out for Sharing Critical, Accurate Information About Joe Biden”

**  “Nancy Pelosi Can’t Mask Her Contempt for Progressives”

** “To Win Power, Progressives Must Embrace ‘Primary’ as a Verb”

**  “Why Bernie Sanders Is Absolutely Correct About the Washington Post -- and Corporate Media Overall”

**  “The ‘Official Secrets’ Movie vs. Joe Biden’s Lies About the Iraq War”

 

 

 

The LA Times called War Made Easy “brutally persuasive” and “a must-read for those who would like greater context with their bitter morning coffee, or to arm themselves for the debates about Iraq that are still to come.” The newspaper's reviewer added: “Solomon is a formidable thinker and activist.” A full-length documentary film, narrated by Sean Penn, was based on War Made Easy. The New York Times review called the film "ultimately persuasive" and said: “Many of its arguments have been made before … but Mr. Solomon digs deeper and hammers harder.”

 

Norman is the founder and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, a consortium of policy researchers and analysts. He coordinates IPA's ExposeFacts program, which supports “national security” whistleblowers and journalistic freedom. Norman wrote the nationally syndicated "Media Beat" weekly column from 1992 to 2009. He is a longtime associate of the media watch group FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting).

 

A collection of Norman’s columns won the George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language. The award, presented by the National Council of Teachers of English, honored his book The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media. In the introduction to that book, Jonathan Kozol wrote: “The tradition of Upton Sinclair, Lincoln Steffens, and I.F. Stone does not get much attention these days in the mainstream press ... but that tradition is alive and well in this collection of courageously irreverent columns on the media by Norman Solomon. ... He fights the good fight without fear of consequence. He courts no favors. He writes responsibly and is meticulous on details, but he does not choke on false civility.”

In 2016, Californians voted to legalize the sale of recreational marijuana. But three years later, the very basics of regulating legal weed are still uncertain, and the new markets for marijuana have become another confounding California mess. It’s unclear how much marijuana can be consumed before police can make an arrest for driving under the influence, or whether the state can guarantee that marijuana being sold is safe and effective. Vaping—popular yet controversial—confuses the issue further. How can local and state governments bring more clarity to the new world of legal marijuana? Why is the black market for marijuana surviving, and even thriving, during the transition to legalization? And what regulations will ensure that legal weed delivers on its promises of crime reduction and increased tax revenue? UCLA Cannabis Research Initiative clinical psychiatrist Tim Fong, executive director of the Los Angeles Department of Cannabis Regulation Cat Packer, and UCLA criminal justice and drug policy scholar Brad Rowe visit Zócalo to discuss the regulatory challenges of bringing a black market into the light.
