One of the AR Co-Founders, Bedouin Spokesman Khalil Albaz, is here in Sarasota this week. We are hosting him and he is going to be giving a talk this week at Rising Tide International (5102 Swift Rd, Sarasota 34231) this Saturday about the Abrahamic Reunion, Peacemaking, and he will share his story and about the Bedouin peoples of the Holy Land.
Khalil is a voice and force for peace, the manager and Muezzein of the first Bedouin Mosque in Israel, the Spokesman for his community, and has traveled to multiple Parliament of the World’s Religions (Barcelona, Salt Lake, Toronto). He was stabbed 7 times last year, and has been threatened and attacked for peacemaking and standing for peace.
