Insurance Commissioner Jones Sends Ramadan Greetings to Muslim Community
Praises Muslims for Sharing their Religion, Culture and Heritage with Californians
Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones today sent warm wishes to Muslims across California as they begin their month-long celebration of Ramadan.
"Since the early 20th century, Muslim Americans have enriched the fabric of California and have made tremendous contributions across the nation," said Commissioner Jones. "It's important to recognize those contributions during this special religious celebration."
During Ramadan, Muslims fast, pray, and donate to charities in order to strengthen their relationship with God. It is intended to teach spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God.
"For years I have proudly hosted my own annual Ramadan Iftar dinners and Eid celebrations in various regions of California," said Commissioner Jones. "It's been my privilege and honor to learn more about the many Muslim American communities in our great state.
Commissioner Jones thanked the Muslim American community for leading efforts to share their culture and heritage, as well as strengthening relationships with other faiths and communities.

Deafening silence greets honour killing
Toronto Sun ^ | 8/5/2011 | Michele Mandel
TORONTO - Another honour killing in our midst and the silence is deafening.
Shaher Bano Shahdady was just 21, a young mother who wanted to live her Canadian life as a free Canadian woman. And for that, she was strangled to death in front of her toddler.
From the Baloch region of Pakistan, she came to Toronto as a little girl. At 14, her father, Mullah Abdul Ghafoor, sent her back to Pakistan to study at a religious fundamentalist madrassa and a few years later she was forced into an arranged marriage with her first cousin.
But her precious son was her ticket back home.
But she had to sponsor her husband here and his arrival in May forced her back into the cage she had struggled so long to escape. He wanted her to wear a burka, to stay away from Facebook, to put aside any plans she had of resuming a secular education.
“She rebelled,” explains Tarek Fatah, founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress. “With the help of social services, she got an apartment for herself and her son. She was leaving her husband and asking for a divorce. How dare she? It would dishonour everyone.”
She and her son moved out July 1. After just three weeks of freedom, she was dead.
