purpose

1) THINK - The main purpose is to make people THINK. - just like any good art! We have gotten too used to just reading a headline or watching a 30-second soundbite. Always QUESTION - How do you know? Why is it so?

2) RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE - Hate is spreading rapidly in this world in the name of religion. Much of this hate is based upon lack of knowledge and misinformation. Some unscrupulous people use the hate and fear to gain money and power for themselves.

Lets' make it stop. Most of us do not want to kill each other! Most of us can find common ground to agree upon and simply disagree with civility about the rest. In other words, Religious Tolerance!

A third-party, www.religioustolerance.org, seems to do a pretty good job of even-handedly and simply explaining about all different religions. This website has no connection to us.

3) GENDER EQUALITY - Although great strides have been made since the 1900s to promote gender equality, much work still remains to be done to promote equality for women. In America, women are objectified in many music videos. Derogatory terms are often used to refer to them. In other parts of the world, there is a power and education disparity that leads to the suffering of women and children. A third-party, www.milleniumcampaign.org, has gender equality and female empowerment as one of their goals. The link to the empowerment page is http://www.millenniumcampaign.org/site/pp.asp?c=grKVL2NLE&b=186382. The website has no connection to us.

4) CLARIFY THE TRUTH - If anyone still has any doubt, the purpose was absolutely NOT to bash any religion, but to inspire people to educate themselves on every religion's good points. Currently, it's in vogue to bash Islam as a violent, backwards religion. However, why is that so? A quick look at the facts does not support the perception.
