DARING TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS

  My name is Todd Stewart and I am currently in my freshmen year at East Carolina University majoring in Biology... I became aware of both COME and SCOME only several months ago, but since then I have become increasingly aware of the situation in the middle east and a greater understanding of the picture than what is simply reported by CNN.
 COME is the first organization I have encountered which has the daring to describe the situation in the middle east with a tell it like it is attitude. I have the utmost respect for what you have accomplished so far, and would like to do what I can, a college student though I am.

          Sincerely,

I am a Lecturer (or an Assistant Professor according to the American terminology) in Accounting and Finance at the Australian National University. I have been following the events in the Middle East closely and I am greatly impressed by the excellent work you are doing in disseminating objective and correct information about the so-called "peace process" to people all over the world.

Please keep up the good work. I believe that the cause you are fighting for belongs to the whole humanity, not just the Muslims or the Palestinians.  I am a Muslim, but I believe in the brotherhood of all humanity, irrespective of religion, race or gender.

        Yours sincerely

"Dear Sirs,
I was always looking for an alternative voice on the situation in the Middle East i.e the truth!  Whenever I watch or read the newspapers I notice the white lies; but now after having joined on the MER list I am at least satisfied that there are eminent people around the globe who do not subscribe the hypocracies of the so called super powers.  Congratulations and keep it up!!!!"

Salaams.  I just came back from a two-month trip to Pakistan and returned to find my line full of your newsletter, Alhamdulillah.  I wonder, do you have any publications in Urdu (printed, rather than on-line).  I want to know because I have some friends who might be interested in reading some real news, rather than the kind of junk that's broadcast there.
