[Peace] Jihad, Pakistan, and Afghanistan lecture this evening at Champaign Public Library

[Karen Medina]

This was a very interesting event. I am going to request that
Champaign Public Library purchase a copy of the book, "Probing the
Jihadi Mindset" (2007). The U of Illinois has a copy and there are
several other copies mentioned in WorldCat, but Champaign should get a
copy too.

Lars, you might contact WILL AM 580 for arranging a talk/interview
with Dr. Sohail Abbas on the air with David Inge for Focus.
