	The right to change one's religion by Shaykh Abdullah Adhami

	From the Code of Hammurabi to the Code of Maimonides, most major systems of law have affirmed that apostasy must be punished.

	The Pilgrimage To Makkah

	Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors.
