keynote address at the Canadian Islamic Congress 2003 annual meeting
"Dialogue and Reconciliation: The Religious Step
To Peace", Ottawa, October 20, 2003:
"I am deeply grateful to the Canadian Islamic Congress for awarding me the 2003

seeks peace through the pursuit of human rights, economic equity, and social
justice. Indeed the Koran regards social justice as a necessary prerequisite
for authentic peace. You and I are one in this common understanding."
