Mahatma Gandhi’s famed “seven social sins”: politics without principles, wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice."

"As an immigrant woman,

women's rights are dear to my heart. My mother raised me alone, saving me from harm. I am educated, have a job, and a safe place to call home."

About the Book

Once upon a time Somalia was the land of poets, it was the land that people far and wide traveled to just for vacations. We had a good government, an atmosphere that was peaceful, and people that treated one another as though they were blood. Somewhere along the lines though something changed, something devilish entered our country and struck one against the other. As the civil war raged on it was during that time many families were running away from the only home they once knew. Many families ventured to other parts of Africa, and beyond. As for me my journey began in America. America was to become my new home, it was to become a new beginning, and one that would help me grow into the person that I am today. However, I will never forget about where I am from, the history of my country of Somalia, or the trials that lead me to come to my new country of America. I thank Allah for where I started my journey and I thank Allah to where my journey has brought me.

"The American melting pot was in the works since the immigrants began to arrive on the shores of America and today is not different. Every year new immigrants come to America, leaving their country without their choice, running from violence, war and hunger to opportunities to integrate and assimilate and become part of their new homeland with their new distinct beliefs and culture."

"The American melting pot was in the works since the immigrants began to arrive on the shores of America and today is not different. Every year new immigrants come to America, leaving their country without their choice, running from violence, war and hunger to opportunities to integrate and assimilate and become part of their new homeland with their new distinct beliefs and culture.

This is the American dream. This is what brought me to this beautiful country, a county where there are opportunities, education, safety and law and order. As a Muslim woman living in this great country, I believe in the American dream and that everyone, regardless of religion, ethnicity, color, and income has the right to exercise that dream.

Therefore, as a member of the American society, I am committed to the public ideals of unity and community, social and economic justice, and peace at home and abroad. I believe in the virtues of hospitality, dialogue, partnership and openness." Saciido Shaie
