Imam Johri is a different kind of an Imam, a breed of his own. For someone like me who comes from Karachi Pakistan, meeting Imam Johri was like a breath of fresh air. He is not only an Imam but also a thinker, a scholar, an activist, a musician, an avid golfer and a man who believes in the true tenants of all faiths, which is, that we all come from one God. We caught up with Imam Johri to spend some time and see how an American Imam lives his day.

To commemorate the 5-year anniversary of Homeland security we spoke to Dan Sutherland and Shaarik Zafar from Homeland Security's office of civil rights and civil liberties to address the negative image about DHS. Some critics have argued that DHS is deliberately targeting Muslims in the fight against terrorism. But according to DHS, the department is simply trying to protect the country and at the same time protecting peoples rights and liberties which involves following the correct guidelines and procedures that any country would pursue to protect its security. Another point that was highlighted was DHS is not only working in counter terrorism but is also engaged in helping the community in times of natural disasters and calamities.
