Global Muslim Campaign to Send Condolences To Slain Ambassador's Family Goes Viral
Over 6,000 letters sent from ninety countries in one week; continues at a rate of one letter every ninety seconds.
September 23, 2012-- What started out as a local effort by Muslims to write messages of goodwill to the family of Ambassador Stevens has quickly become a global online movement, with thousands of letters being sent from ninety countries in just one week.
The effort was launched by Celebrate Mercy, a non-profit organization that aims to educate people of all faiths worldwide about the life and character of the Prophet Muhammad through online telecasting and social media. It solicited responses to its 11-day 'MercyMail Campaign' via Facebook and Twitter, urging followers to "respond to an evil deed with a good one."
Letters began coming in rapidly after the campaign made the front page of Reddit.com, the social news website, and received the endorsement of prominent Muslim scholars and celebrities such as Cat Stevens (Yusuf).
"Violence and vandalism, no matter how angry you are, is not right in any religion. By killing an innocent man, this mob did more to offend the Prophet Muhammad's legacy than this film could have ever done," said Tarek El-Messidi, founder of Celebrate Mercy.
"The Prophet Muhammad embodied mercy and patience on a daily basis, and taught that killing a single person is equivalent to killing all of humanity. This tiny, but loud minority obviously wasn't listening, but the outpouring of heartfelt letters from Muslims worldwide reflects the values of the overwhelming majority."
The organization is collecting all of the letters, as well as flowers and gifts, to send to the family. They have received letters from Muslims spanning five continents, most of which came from the United States and North Africa, including many Libyans and Libyan-Americans.
Messages have ranged from personal stories, to condolences and prayers for the family, and explanations of why the act contradicts Muhammad's message and character.
CelebrateMercy has over 120,000 fans on Facebook and over 1,000 registered volunteers worldwide.

Somebody posted a link to a website that had a scale which started off as human scale and then you could go smaller (molecules and atoms) and bigger (galaxies). Wondering if someone still has the link to that!

Too bad it isn't about flipping cars to lose money, I'm really good at that.

Beijing court finds boyfriend guilty of student's murder in B.C.
A court in Beijing has found the former boyfriend of Amanda Zhao guilty of her murder, 10 years after the body of the international student was discovered in B.C.
Li Ang was sentenced to life in prison, according to Zhao's family.
Defence lawyer Zou Jiaming said the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate Court ruled Thursday that Li committed "intentional homicide." He plans to appeal the verdict, according to a report in the Globe and Mail.
A Canadian diplomat was in the court Thursday, but would not comment.
Zhao, 21, had come to Canada to study English and was living in Burnaby, B.C., with Li at the time of her disappearance on Oct. 9, 2002. Hikers found her body stuffed into a suitcase nearly two weeks later near Mission, B.C., 80 kilometres east of Vancouver.

Li, who was 18 at the time, was a suspect but fled to China shortly after the discovery, leading to lengthy diplomatic and legal wrangling between Canadian and Chinese authorities over who would prosecute the case.
Canada tried unsuccessfully to extradite Li, but eventually agreed to help Chinese investigators after Beijing said it would not seek the death penalty. China maintained that it had jurisdiction because the case involved two Chinese nationals.
In 2009, police in China arrested Li based on evidence provided by the RCMP.
Zhao had been in Canada for more than a year when she disappeared. Li told police his girlfriend went to the grocery store and never came back.
NEW FAIRFIELD -- A man fatally shot a masked teenager in self-defense outside his neighbor's house during what appeared to be an attempted late-night burglary and then discovered it was his son, state police said.
Police identified the dead boy as 15-year-old Tyler Giuliano, who was shot at about 1 a.m. Thursday in New Fairfield, a town along the New York line just north of Danbury.
She taught me right from wrong and always told me to stay positive and help others no matter how small the deed - that helping others gives us meaning to carry on. The sun is out today and it's a new day. Life is good. I just needed a slap in the face.
My passport expired last month... And I want to go down to the states for a day trip to do some shopping. What are the chances that they won't let me through at the border? :/
