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,
Todd Stewart - 1/12/98
=======================================================
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.

I am indeed in accord with your organization's statement
of
principles. I appreciate your good work."
