Salaam mahlekum

Irene, me, and the Sheikh

Today I met with the Sheikh of Georgia to discuss the Muslims' involvement in the emerging Press Committee designed to create greater awareness and appreciation of the religious diversity in Georgia and among Georgians. He can speak pretty much every language in the world except the ones I speak, so by our next meeting I shall have learned Arabic (or Georgian, since he speaks Georgian too).
